Then after going to the farm and a nice long nap (see post below) we went to Mall of America with our friends Aurora and Gavin. We decided to take the kids on some rides. I wasn't sure how Hailey would handle it since the last time we went on the carousel at Camp Snoopy (like when she was 1.25 years old) she cried the whole time and wanted off. Well it was quite the opposite this time. She hated waiting in line and wanted to run in front of everyone and get on, so I had to hold her back while she was fussing in line. Then we got on and she was happy. Then the ride started going, and she was ecstatic! Then the ride ended. I had to pull her off of every ride we went on, then the tears came again and "No! No! No! Gain! (again)" It was an emotionally exhausting experience for her as I'm sure you can imagine. We went on a total of 3 rides with her, the trucks (pictured below with Aurora and me on top and Hailey and Gavin in the cab), the mini roller coaster, and then the little bus that goes in little circles...which Hailey managed to get a free second ride on since she fussed and ran in the gate when it was open to let everyone off and the lady was nice enough to let her go again. So it was a fun time, but 3 rides was definitely enough. Then we walked around the mall and went and saw the new Best Buy and played some of the games. I got some cute pictures of Hailey and Jordan playing the Wii and the DS. Overall it was a pretty eventful Saturday! Then next Saturday we have Hailey's birthday party -- another jam packed day of fun for Hailey!

How fun! We were actually just thinking of taking Graycen to the MOA to try some rides out. Now that you guys have tried them first, I think we are safe!
