Underwater Adventure

The kids and I are up at Dad and Thomas' this weekend. We left by 7:30 on Friday morning and had a wonderful trip up. This was the first trip we took without the DVD player and the kids were great! I'm hoping for the same to be said about our trip home tomorrow. **crosses fingers**

This morning Dad and I got up nice and early and took a long walk around Lake of the Isles. We had our morning coffee and were home by 7:00 o'clock! Just in time to get the kids ready to go to Underwater Adventure at the Mall of America. In all the times we've come up here we've never been to it so it was an extra special treat!

It was AWESOME!









Lauren made a friend while we were there. His name is "Turtle" and he stared at her for a good five minutes all while flapping his arms. It was too cute!










At the end the kids all get the chance to touch starfish. Surprisingly, BOTH Josh and Lauren took advantage of the opportunity. Dad asked Josh what it felt like and he said, "All goo!"






It truly was amazing. I've never seen anything like it and it was one of those things that I enjoyed just as much as the kids! By the end of it Ella was ready to go and more than happy to help us along.
