A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Mall of America

Last Friday Tristen and I went to the Mall of America. Our plan was to go to a large amusement park but the weather didn't go in our favor. So, we headed to the mall. Tristen and I went on rides, ate lunch, played at Lego Land and Tristen make a bear at the Build a Bear Workshop. It was a good day.

Looks Like Loads of FUN!
Very handsome son you have Jessica, get ready for those phone calls from girls in the next few years/

Are you jealous of the Gold'n Plump chicken?

Thanks Diane! I think he is cute but I know I am a little (or more than a little) bias.

I agree 100%!!!

That looked like a very fun day - what a great mom you are!

Thanks Lynne! We have fun doing these kinds of things. I wish finances would allow us to do these things more often. We do it as much as we can though.

Just thought maybe she couldn't get over that big chicken or something. I know that all of you wish you could have been there to see that chicken. It was really something!

looks like a great day there jess! and i agree you have a handsome boy there. trouble in about 5 years, i'm sure. (girl trouble)

Did it do the Chicken dance ?

Tristan has grown a lot since you last shared him. He is a cutie. I am glad you had such a great day with him. All kids need that time (even when the weather doesn't cooperate). and Mom's need that time too.

Actually it did! They had that song playing and when the chicken wasn't visiting it was doing the chicken dance!

Thanks Jiffy and Tina! It was a good day!

OHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOO - NOT the chicken dance - I HATE IT!!!

I knew that all of you would be jealous.

I remember when they built that mall and it was all over the news. I've always wanted to visit. And I just may someday.
But I am not jealous at all of your winters. Nope, not me!
California builds malls to keep people shopping in the a/c. Minn for the really cold winters. I choose California.

But I am a wee bit jealous of your young son. Mine are growing too fast again.

You can come visit us anytime, Tina...that way you can spend time with my young son and visit the Mall of America. The Mall is a place that I recommend everybody see if they are in the area but it is too big to shop at. We go there for the park and underwater world and those kinds of things. I like to shop but not there.

Yes, I find most malls a little expensive. I usually don't go to shop but to walk and people watch and things. Even the outlet malls here are pricier than I like. I guess I'm a cheapskate. (I call it thrifty)

I'm a people watcher too. (and a cheapskate)

VERY handsome litle guy Jessica!! and yes I too think you may have to lock him in a closet in a few years---(to hide him from the girls, don't ya know--- :wink:)

Gee to be so close to The Mall of America!!! That must be something to see !!!

My Cousin in Ks had traveled to the Mall of American twice stayed for 3 days each time in the area,, and still claims she hasn't seen the entire Mall She also says all of the 3 days she was in MN was not always at the Mall, she loves that area of the U.S. and goes in mid spring when she does go.

Thanks Carol!

It is a nice place but a huge place. It is not as exciting when you live this close. Still fun once in a while though.

yea I think that happens. We live 45 minutes from the "Arch" in St Louis, MO---I have never been

I have lived about 45 minutes from Disneyland since it was built and I never got tired of it.

I am not tired of it. It is just not as exciting as some might think. Loz has told me that she would go there every week if she lived this close. I have no desire to go there every week. It is fun once in a while but it is just too big to do a lot of shopping there...expensive too.

I have to agree about the expense, jess.--and I love to shop.

Mind you I do not often spend money on myself--I have to be in the right mood.

I don't think I've seen any pictures of Tristan in a while, he is so grown up! The Mall of America can be fun, when I was there in November we somehow managed to walk the entire mall in one day. It took us all day but we saw it all. We didn't go on any rides, no kids with us, but I did take a picture of myself in Forrest Gump's shoes at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Did you do the log ride? I did that one years ago and it was hilarious the way they take your picture on the way down.

We didn't do that one. I'm not sure if Tristen would have liked it and I didn't want to walk around wet.

he looks like you.

How sweet Tristen is , an mom too.

So nice to see a happy fellow an mom.
thanks for sharing an caring.

Thanks Sheri and Barb! Sheri....yeah he does look like me. Lucky kid!
