Minneapolis, here we come!!

We took Rylie to Minneapolis, MN to visit her Aunt Kristy. On Friday, we all went to the famous Mall of America. I would have to say that Rylie's favorite store was American Girl. I think she's going to have to wait a couple of more years though before she gets one of those dolls. Saturday, we went downtown and strolled along the mighty Mississippi River. It's the only spot on the river that has a significant waterfall (Saint Anthony Falls). They even have to use a lock system to get the boats up and down it. Before we left on Sunday, we took Rylie across the street from Kristy's place so she could play on the slide right next to Lake Calhoun. They aren't lying when they say MN is the land of the lakes. They're everywhere up there.

The Circus

The circus came to town and Mom was able to get tickets through her work so we took Rylie. She was fascinated with all the animals, especially the horses and doggies. Thankfully, the tickets were in IPL's suite so Rylie was able to get down and run around.
