Mall of America

We spent Friday and Saturday in Minnesota at the Mall of America. Karis had a blast! As you can see, she would have made her Pop-Pop proud as she drove the big truck in the amusement park part of the mall.
We ate dinner Friday night at Kokomo's... a restaurant with a beach theme. I couldn't resist the shot with Ben and Karis.
We met Dora... Karis was afraid of her at first. Later, she was happy to tell Dora about all of the rides she went on.... especially the one in this next picture.
I know it's a bad shot, but that's Ben and Karis on the log ride. Karis begged all day to ride. We were afraid it would be too much for her. However, she insisted. At the end of the day, Ben took her on the ride. She was scared, but was glad that she rode on it anyway.

Okay, now everyone wants to know about the shopping side of the mall. It was great! I had the chance to use the gift cards I received for my birthday and Christmas. We'll need to add a line item in our budget entitled "Mall of America" for future trips. Now that I've gotten my feet wet and kind of learned my way around... watch out!
