Week 2

For Christmas, we gave the kids gift cards to Build-A-Bear Workshop and promised them a fun day at the Mall of America.  We let them choose which restaurant to go to for lunch (McDonalds) and then we visited Sea Life Aquarium.

She is definitely her father's daughter- she had to read every single sign!

At Build-A-Bear, Buddy chose a saber tooth tiger which he named Stripe.  And Punky chose a panda bear which she named Rainbow.  They each wanted to add a sound button in their animals too.  Punky chose a monkey sound for the panda- ???  Whatever, I guess it's her's!

We browsed the Disney Store and the Lego Store and let the kids each chose a ride at Nickelodean Universe.  Buddy chose the ghost ride which is completely in the dark.  I thought he was going to be too scared, but he was more interested in shooting things to even notice.  Punky chose a real roller coaster.  This was her first time and she loved it!  It was a fun day and we timed our trip right- the crowds were getting to be too big by the time we left!
