Another weekend adventure!

Friday started off with a twist... Karis asked us to take her to school. She's normally home with Ben on Fridays. However, her class was going for a boat ride on the Mississippi River. She is the first one in our family who's been on the water since we moved here.
Can you imagine taking a group of 3-4 year-olds on a boat ride? The teachers were worried that the kids would get sick. We were afraid someone would fall overboard! Karis is in middle to the group. She's wearing a green, blue, and white striped dress. Ben and Mom-Mom picked her up after the field trip and got ready for the next adventure... The Mall of America! We drove to Minnesota Friday night and headed to the mall Saturday morning.
Karis and I gave Ben gift card for a flight simulation experience at the mall as a part of his Father's Day present. Here he is as he prepared for his flight!
The coolest thing for Karis... meeting Tyrone and Uniqua from the Backyardagains. She's overcome many fears during this trip to the mall... she's not afraid of the characters or the "storms" in the Rainforest Cafe. She couldn't wait to introduce Mom-Mom to her new friends!
The Mall of America tired all of us out. Karis had to nap on the way home. This was a sweet moment for Mom-Mom.
