The Mall of America

here's a picture of us on the sponge bob roller coaster- the Rock Bottom Plunge -that I put on Woody's fridge for him

After riding the SPONGEBOB coaster, Max looked a little green and I, his brother, went to see if he was ok. Max related to me that he did feel a little sick and told me of his hatred for all roller coasters. When I inquired about his decision to ride the SPONGEBOB coaster Max stated, "I wasn't gonna let those little girls show me up!" (refering to the little girls getting of the coaster before us)

Did I mention that this was a SPONGEBOB Roller Coaster?

In Max's defense, it did have loops, corkscrews, inverted spins and an actual perfectly STRAIGHT drop!

Erin's trading in her car to drive this baby to California!
Watch out! Her feet don't reach the pedals!

Lego Dinosaurs!
More specifically: Lego Brontosaurus and Lego Triceratops (the Triceratops is the one on the right...no YOUR right!)

I take that back...its a Lego Diplodocus

Max and Lego Stegosaurus are friends <3

Trying on cheese hats at the Wisconsin store (which, ironically, is located right next to the "Love From Minnesota" store. They hate each other.)

What did we buy at the Mall of America?

Well, I bought a pair of earrings, a necklace for Erin, a memory card for the camera, a couple of Roald Dahl books, an easy crosswords book, postcards from the Love from Minnesota store, and a couple of gumballs.
Sam bought us all a ride on the Spongebob roller coaster, an awesome Grateful Dead tee shirt (it has a ship of fools illustration on it, and he's been searching for it forever) and couple of awesome baseball caps.
Max bought me a huge tee shirt nightgown with a moose wearing pyjamas on it that says "bed head." I'm wearing it right now. He also bought a memory card, but his most important purchase was cheese from the Wisconsin store.
Uncle Woody got a red Twins cap that he had already bought once but in the wrong size.
Erin didn't buy one thing!

The plan for tomorrow is to drive out after a much- anticipated breakfast of banana pancakes.

Goodnight! Love, Morgan

Thank you Uncle Woody and Bonnie!
