Minnesota Vaca - Day Two


We spent our second day having lots of fun at Uncle Brian and Aunt Ania's house.  Kyle had a total blast playing with his cousins.  Caroline pushed him around on the trike, played with him on the playground, and taught him how to use the chalkboard.


We enjoyed swinging and playing hide-n-seek in their backyard.  I got both Jack and Caroline really good one time, so much so that after Jack's fit of laughter subsided, he said "okay Aunt Beth, you earned a free picture for that!" 
 


This is the result of that "gift":

After Kyle's morning nap, we all headed for some fun at the Mall of America.  I can remember going here on their grand opening back when the amusement park was called "Camp Snoopy."  It has far more rides now under the "Nickoledeon Universe" name.

Jack and I had fun on the log chutes together.

Kyle got to ride on the balloons with cousin Caroline.  As one would expect from Kyle, he LOVED it.  This will be a theme with him throughout the weekend.




 I was able to get Caroline to push aside her character fear for a few moments while she met a few of the Nick Jr characters.  Kyle of course about jumped out of my arms asking to go snap a photo with them.  

Back at their house, we enjoyed some more outside time.  Kyle immediately figured out how to climb up their rock wall and go down their big slide.  Which he LOVED.

And by the evening, he had mastered erasing his drawings off the chalkboard. Maybe we will need to get him one of these?

Caroline and I ended the night with a dance party.  She would twirl around with these plastic cups around her ears.  Such a sweetheart!
