Knowing that we wouldn't be in town to celebrate Aly's turning of digits, we had pizza and cake at home on Saturday evening. She enjoyed friends and family and an enormous triple chocolate mocha fudge cake that was the sweetest and richest we had ever seen.----------------------
Before daybreak the next morning, we headed north for Minnesota. With the sun at our backs, we drove upwards through Wisconsin and over to the suburbs of the twin cities.
Granted, a few of us couldn't handle the early rising...which is unusual for the early bird boy. Aly was wide awake with anticipation, though.----------------------
Upon arrival, the kids didn't waste a second planning out their course of action...
Aly made the first purchase of the afternoon...
...some adorable little Eiffel Tower earrings! The perfect color, too. (Sad note though: Although they matched her birthday outfit for Monday just so, all it took was one ride on a roller coaster for the left one to come up missing!)
Brandan found some good deals on his favorite shirts and polos.
We wrapped up Sunday evening back at the Water Park of America (in our hotel). It may have been chilly willy outside, but it was toasty warm inside! I will be back soon with our Mall of America adventures soon...

Looks like fun! Did she go back for a replacement pair of earrings?
Love it! I love the picture of them looking out onto the mall, great shot!
You are rocking the collages;)
