Summer List: #21, 42, 92 - Trip to MOA

After my morning run with Bode in the jogging stroller (Maggie kept herself occupied in Steve's office at school with my KindleFire), we stocked up on some play money at the dollar store in order to bury it in the sandbox - #92 on the list.  Maggie took it to a whole new level, calling the coins "gold doubloons" and pretending we were pirates.  Arrgh, matey!  We ended up finding 13 out of the 16 I buried, along with an extra coin from the previous owners, before the novelty wore off.  Not bad.

A gold doubloon!

And Bode...this boy.  I wonder what goes on in that head of his.

After Maggie's swimming lessons, which ended at noon, Steve decided he'd be done with work for the day and we left for a surprise trip to the Mall of America.

We had an issue with a messy shirt.

Our first stop when we arrived was Sea Life, #42.  Steve and I went maybe once when we were dating (I think it was called Underwater World then), but we have never gone with Maggie and Bode.  Maggie was a little timid in the all-around aquariums, but Bode ate it up!  He was touching everything, running everywhere, and totally into it.  Maggie's favorite part was the seahorses.

Lastly, we went to Nickelodeon Universe (#21) to use some points on our previously purchased wristband.  Blue's Clues is always a favorite.  We also tested out Big Rigs, and the merry-go-round.

All in all, a fun Friday!
