Baseball 2009

Here's the 2009 MMC Red team. The boys did awesome this year.

Ryan's favorite position is 2nd base. He had a great year catching several fly balls and hitting the ball clear out to the grass. Great job Ryan!

Mall of America

Mall of America

The morning after the Yankee's game we stopped by the Mall of America. We went to the Underwater Adventures. It was really neat!

Watch out Ashley!!
Lego Land
Jacob is trying to escape from his stroller.
There was a tank that had all the fish from Finding Nemo. We literally had to drag Jacob away. He kept yelling Dori! Dori! Dori!
They had the tank set up just like the one in the movie.Scene from Pirates of the Carribean
There was a moving floor that took you through the aquarium. It was awesome.

Look mom a Shark!

At the end of the aquarium the kids got to touch actual animals from the sea. Ashley loved the anemones and horseshoe crabslRyan and Ash with Jimmy Neutron
On the way out Ashley spotted this car and wanted a picture.
We all had a lot of fun on our (pig free) vacation!!!
