At "The Mall" with Aunt Cheri and Cousins Kellen and Cody

Aunt Cheri, Cousin Kellen and Cousin Cody came all the way from Oregon to visit for a whole week!! We spent their second day here at the Mall of America. We saw lots of stores, went to the Underwater Adventures aquarium, ate at the Rainforest Cafe restaurant and had a ton of fun in the Nickelodeon Universe amusement park. It was a very fun day and one we'll remember forever! Memories of our day at The Mall...

Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park

Cousins Kellen and Cody were brave and rode the roller coaster in Nickelodeon Universe (look closely, they're in the second car). Then Aunt Cheri, Cody, Kellen and Mommy all rode the Log Chute water ride. I was too little for the big rides so I rode on the carousel with Mommy and Daddy instead. It was fun! Here's pictures of all of us "ride warriors"!

After all the excitement of Nickelodeon Universe, we had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, a "wild" restaurant in the Mall of America that has a rainforest jungle theme. We sat in an area with animated gorillas that "came to life" every few minutes and there were even thunderstorms while we ate. Aunt Cheri bought me a stuffed baby gorilla and a tiger.

After lunch, we went to Underwater Adventures, an underground aquarium underneath the Mall of America. We got to see tons of fish, turtles, stingrays and sharks. They had a small pool where we all got to touch stingrays and sharks (well everyone except Miss Lily).

Wow - what a busy day. After all the fun and excitement, I am exhausted. I am off to sleep, dreaming of my day at the Mall with Aunt Cheri, Cousin Kellen and Cousin Cody. I can't wait for all our adventures to come this week - we'll post more pictures of all the fun!
