Applicious!

Driving along the river headed toward the Mall of America we found the most amazing apple orchard. It was full of yummy Honey-crisp apples! The kids raced down the hill in the wagon to see who could find the biggest apples. After several picked apples and fresh caramel apples to go we were back on the road Mall of America bound.

We finally made it to Mall of America. It was a place we promised to take the kids when we moved.

It was a full day of adventures!

Brylee gave Hello Kitty a hug and was in awe of the American Girl store. That American Doll girl is one well dressed doll. Her outfits cost way more than Brylee's! And of course we spent a long time in the Lego store. The kids each made their own Lego figure and we purchased a Stars Wars Lego Advent Calendar set and some Christmas presents...Brett if you are reading this, just kidding about the present part!

The last adventure of the day was taking the kids to Sea Life. How could we not take our Shark loving boy to Sea Life. I was told for a mere $75 I could swim with the sharks and not to worry they were not hungry and would not eat me! Gee no thanks...my luck would be that the sharks were extra hungry that day!

A little after midnight we made it home and the kids with half closed eyes stumbled into bed to dream about all the fun we had.

To Move or Not to Move?

That was the question of Summer 2010????

First it was Arkansas then Texas and now Wisconsin.

It seems that we are headed to Wisconsin when our house sells.

but it did involve some sight seeing of the different towns that we were thinking about moving to. Way too much McDonalds!

and of course swimming!

now just hoping to be together as a family soon.
