Vacation-Nickolodeon Universe

We just got back from Minnesota, Nickolodeon Universe at the Mall of America. We had a great time!

Sarah's first plane ride.

The mall was right across the street from our hotel.

Sarah was in Ahhh....when we first got there.

Sarah not to sure anymore of this ride.....hanging onto daddy for dear life.

The Mall of America has an aquarium in its basement. It was pretty big.

Back for more characters and rides....

Steve did the ropes course there....

Sarah's favorite ride....where you shoot at ghosts ride like Buzz lightyear at Disney.

At the beginning of the week....Mary would make sure we held onto her tight on rides. By the end of the week, her hands were in the air and wouldn't let us hold onto her.

One day we went to Valleyfair, Planet Snoopy. They have a lot of kiddie Snoopy based theme rides and BIG rides like Six Flags for Steve and I.

We went to the Minnesota Zoo while there. They also had a Dr.Seuss thing going on with sculputres and artwork you can take pictures in front of. Mary wished she could have seen the characters though. The zoo was nice, we saw a lot of different animals. The only thing was it was hot and humid our last day there. When we got to Minnesota the high was 68 and was very nice after our heat at home. By our last day it rose nearly 30 degrees to a high of 95 like at home.

WaterPark of America- biggest indoor waterpark. Everything is inside. You can get on a slide inside, then it goes outside (enclosed), and then back inside again. There was a treehouse inside, with a lot of slides that Mary and Sarah could both do.

Mary completed the ropes course all by herself, when there were big kids that couldn't do it. She had determination!
