On Monday we went to the Mall of America and spent the whole day at Nickelodeon Universe....compliments of Jay's parents for Christmas. It was a blast! We were there for 12 hours. Riding rides, having lunch and dinner, getting ice cream, riding more rides. Jay and I decided to get a wristband too so we could all go on them. What a good idea....I haven't been on rides for years. I didn't go on all of them, my stomach could not have handled it, but Jay and Tyler and Timmy did. They go on anything. Tanner and Tony went on their first roller coaster. They really liked it. Tanner held on to me for dear life, but he wanted to go again as soon as it was over. It was a really good day and we are so grateful to Grandma and Grandpa for the gift.
