We decided to head to the Mall of America today to watch the free family movie that was Mr. Peabody and Sherman.

The kids enjoyed the movie and after that we went to Johnny Rockets for lunch.

Instead of calling it a day at that point we decided to skip the naps and continue on with our fun at the MOA. We let the kids ride on a couple of rides. Madiana loved the Swipper’s Sweeper ride, every time it turned the corner she had a huge smile on her face.

Then both kids rode on the carousel together but really it was more exciting for Madiana.

After that I took Brecken on the Farrows-wheel that he had his mind set one. He actually seemed to like it but was a little nervous that their wasn’t any seat belts so had me put my arm around him to feel safe.

After the rides we went to the Cupcake store as a surprise for Mommy (the 2014 Summer of Cupcakes Continues).

It was another busy, but fun day with the family. Here is what the kids had to say when asked what their favorite thing about the day was.

Eating cupcakes… Or maybe riding the rides or well I guess the whole day. – Brecken

I liked the Mooome (movie). I say oh that is a scary Mooome sometimes. – Madiana

Here is April’s favorite picture of the day.
