St Paul - Day 2

Started the morning with breakfast at the hotel.

.

Then our trek to Mall of America.

.

Britttney had seen this on TV and needed a picture.

.

Rainforest cafe.  We didn't eat there but had fun looking at all the animals.

.

Zeke was so happy to see Blue.

.

No visit to MOA is complete without stopping at Lego Land.

.

Look at all the Legos!

.

The Disney Store

.

He's never seen cookies so big!

.

Brittney stood in line with Zeke for 25 minutes to see Dora & Diego.

.

Dora made it a point to hug Brittney too even though Brit was practically running away.

.

Zeke's proudest moment

.

After the mall, we headed back to the Children's Hospital.  They took lots of X-rays of his legs, feet, ankles, hips and spine and then we met with the orthopedic surgeon.  Zeke's entertaining himself while we wait.

.

I'm always impressed with Gillette Children's Hospital.  They are so accommodating to families and kids.  When we take Zeke's X-rays, I'm allowed to be right next to him.  This bathroom has the usual amenities and infant changing areas but also has two table for changing larger children.

.

Once we left the hospital, we drove down to Iowa. 

There were tornados and thunderstorms just to the east of us but we missed them all by 20 miles or so. 

The kids slept while I blasted my music and sang along all by myself :)
