Our Weekend Trip to Mall of America

On Thanksgiving night, after celebrating and enjoying wonderful food with our families, we packed up the car and headed up north to Mall of America. Every weekend in December is busy with something for us so we thought that this would be a good weekend to go. Lily didn't have school on Friday. Chris closed his office for the day and I didn't have any kids. We figured that once January rolls around--and the baby can be due possibly any time that month-- we wouldn't have any time to get away and we wanted to get away with the kids one last time before the baby arrives. We stayed downtown in a beautiful hotel. There was shopping close by the hotel, the pool that the kids loved, the Mall, and at night, our hotel was on the Holidazzle parade route so we enjoyed the light up parade while sipping hot chocolate. It was the perfect weekend! If you ask the kids what was their favorite part of the weekend, they would say riding the rides at the mall on Friday. My wonderful husband took the kids all day to ride the rides while I shopped a bit on Black Friday. The kids are so so fearless. They rode every ride that they were tall enough for and if they weren't, Chris rode with them. I think that there was only one ride that Lily didn't go on. Lily rode the big roller coasters since she is tall. Nolan rode the big kid rides too. And the best thing was that there were no lines to get on the rides. Everyone at the mall that day were shopping so the kids could walk onto any ride without waiting.
