MOA + Courtney = money well spent

Almost 2 weeks ago now we went on our annual MOA (Mall of America) trip. We usually go in November but decided to change it up this year and go in March... one reason being the weather would possibly be better. Unfortunately we live in Wisconsin and a blizzard almost destroyed this trip. Thankfully! roads were plowed by the time we wanted to leave. The second reason being (and maybe this was more a personal reason) we would have taxes back and be able to spend some on ourselves... and do so I did ;)

This year we treated the kids to ALL DAY passes to the rides at the mall. They had a blast and didn't stop until almost 9:00 p.m. when the mall closed, almost 9 hours nonstop!  Needless to say, they'll be doing that again next year. Below you can see part of Dave and Tayt on a roller coaster. Dave's arm is pointing to the left in the photo.

almost as good as the rides... the pool! (very middle shot - my Dad reaching to grab Tayt on the edge of the pool)

the magnificent quiettt ride home ;)
