We enjoyed a little spring getaway with the boys this weekend and headed to the Mall of America.  We started by going to Underwater Adventures which was wonderful.  We took Cam when he was about two, but this time both he and Coop were definitely at the perfect age to really enjoy themselves.  The tunnel was fantastic and the boys loved that they were able to see sharks, sting rays, turtles, and more up close and personal.  After that we went to Legoland where the boys played with Legos and then we headed to the Lego store.  Cameron found the Stars Wars Lego people he had been searching for....if all goes well at school this week he will take possession of them on Friday! :)  After playing we took a break, so the boys could sit and relax with Bryant and I could run into at least one store...which of course was Children's Place to buy a few things for the boys.  I couldn't very well go all the way to the MOA and not go into any stores (Yet, I wish I had a chance to do a grown up store!)! :)  After resting it was time to meet up with the Hanson/Campbell crew.  We had a chance to meet sweet Kyla and the boys hit the rides with Keifer.  It was so fun to see all the kids together and I hope we can do it more often, especially since Carrie and I have the summer off!  After the rides we all headed up to the Cantina for dinner, on the 4th floor, which was very good.  The kiddos did well, but in the end they were wound up and ready to run!  We said our goodbyes and then headed to the hotel where we hit the pool right away!  After a day at the mall, hanging with friends, swimming, etc. we all were asleep by 8:30!  Of course, the boys were ready to swim by 6:20 this morning!!!!  We swam, got ready, packed up, went for breakfast and were on our way home by 9 a.m.-talk about efficient!  Our weekend ended with a BEAUTIFUL, SUNNY day...we spent the entire day outside, enjoyed bbq chicken from the grill, and our boys hit the pillows and were out by 7:15!!! 

Happy Spring to you all!!!
