The final day of vacation...
We woke up to the alarm, for the first time on this vacation, early enough to have the continental breakfast at the hotel and hit the road with the idea that we would get to the Mall Of America / IKEA at 10am when they open. We got there at 9:55am, so the plan was a success.
Momma went to IKEA to get some shelving that she's been wanting and Daddy took the critters over to the MoA to play on the "stuff".
Nothing very exciting but the boys were happy as pigs in poo, so that's worth something... right? $50.00? Not so much but they really did have a blast.

| Robby, desperately trying to avoid Caleb, who is on his first bumper car ride. Much like a youth soccer game, the kids mostly huddled in a big group so nothing too exciting happened. It took Caleb about 1 minute of the 3 minute ride to figure out what he was supposed to do, but he came out of there with a huge grin on his face! |
 |
| The Diego bus. Note the driver and his front seat passenger (who is mostly obscured by a reflection in the window). |
 |
| Calebber negotiating a tight turn in his "race". |
 |
| Robby makes a new friend. Caleb FREAKED OUT over the life sized Kai Lin. Total panic pulling dad backwards away from her. |
 |
| This was the entrance to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ride, which Robby and Daddy went back and rode later on. They are easily the most brightly dressed "ninja's" that I've ever encountered. |
That pretty much wraps up vacation, 2012 style. From the MoA, we drove back to Grandma & Grandpa's house in Crystal Lake where we had a delightful fish dinner, caught by Grandpa, cooked by Grandma. Good stuff!
A few golf cart rides later and we were headed back for Pleasant Hill.
