Mall Lunch Hits the Big Times


You know how our family has the weird tradition of meeting at the mall once a week or so. We each get what we want to eat and gather for a quick break together in the middle of a work day. It is a quirky tradition but it works for us.

Well, last week we took our mall lunch to the max! Yep, you guessed it! We were at the Mall of America! I went  into exactly one store there, but I had a delightful time.


Maria and the girls enjoyed the merry-go-round.


Cordelia and I rode together on a little kid roller coaster, with Maria and Elise just in front of us. It was a bit too tame for Cordelia.


The ferris wheel made that girl pretty happy.

Mike took this artsy photo of the escalator, looking into the amusement park.

What a wonderland for kids!


This project was made out of legos.  The photo doesn't accurately capture the true size of it but notice the people walking down below.


Later, Cordelia and I rode on that roller coaster that went over the top of most of the amusement park. It was a bit TOO much for her but she handled it well with just a bit of reassurance that the car we rode in would not go flying off the rail.


It was kind of a carefree time.  Nice.



There's Cordelia on the big kid roller coaster with me.



Honestly, everyone was not on their phones throughout the entire lunch!
