Monday in Minnesota

BRRRRRR.....Pictures from my uncle's house.The snow in Minnesota is different than California. Here, we can play in the snow while wearing a sweatshirt and/or even a light jacket. Not in Minnesota! We wore layers upon layers - and I still didn't brave the cold to go play in the snow.We headed off to the Mall of America while we had a couple hours to hang out.

A Lego statue...Here are the roller coasters in the middle of the mall...
I took this picture for my mom; it's the Wicked Witch, probably 4 feet tall:An Earnhardt display in the mall:

We stopped at Johnny Rockets for a milkshake with my uncle Rob. Then we headed to another mall where my aunt and uncles were having photos done. While we waited for a couple of them to choose photos we went to the China Bowl for lunch.

It was fun to sit, talk and laugh with family I haven't seen in a long time. It's the first time Doug met anyone on that side of my family.

While we were eating I made a mess and went to the jewelry store next to the restaurant to get my ring cleaned. I met an Australian who did his best Minnesotan accent for me. It was hysterical! Don-cha-know?!
