Big Day Out

Friday I got off of work by eight o'clock so we headed out with Auntie Kim and Papa.  Our first stop was the Mall of America for Build-a-Bear!  A co-worker told me she received an e-mail about My Little Pony being there for the week.  Well, I think she misread it because it is there indefinitely we were told, ha!  Oh well, she had a blast!

Right away she chose Rainbow Dash!

Giving her a bath

Brushing her hair


She also made Joe a dinosaur which he is slowly taking to - nothing can compare to his "wormy!"

After leaving the mall we grabbed lunch at Chris & Rob's and Amelia went to town on her hot dog - bun and all!  

 
Usually she skips the bun!

Even though most of the animals are still inside (too cold still!) we stopped by Como Zoo on our way home.  

I forgot hats so the kids had to borrow Colts gear from WeHaw...

By far the best sighting of the day was this:

An orangutan in a purple polo shirt?!

Everyone was pretty wiped out by the time we headed home! 


Amelia was excited for bedtime with all her Rainbow Dash friends!

Weekend in Pictures

Our weekend was very different than we had planned.  We had a hotel Saturday night near Madison and were going to go meet some friends' new baby.  As I paid bills Friday night I realized I worked Sunday so we called and cancelled the hotel.  I'm not sure how I overlooked that shift but I'm sure glad I realized I had it before we were 4 hours away!

Saturday we went to Como Zoo.

Cool Kids :)

First stop - flamingos

Waving to her sea lion - aka "really big fish"

Happy boy :)

Popcorn and vitamin water snack

Giraffes - fake and real...

The elusive snow leopard - you seriously never see this guy!

Sunday I worked and we had dinner with my family.

While it wasn't the weekend we had planned we still had fun!
