Mall of America

Yesterday Eddie finally got to see one of the things Minnesota is most famous for- America's biggest mall! Three stories, tons of stores, one very eager eggbert. As you can imagine, he wanted to see EVERYTHING. But that was impossible in just one day of course, and I assured him he'd see more than enough. When we were exhausted and it was time to leave he certainly didn't feel like he hadn't seen enough stores!

First, we checked out the Lego area. He was amazed at all the huge Lego statues and told me it would be really cool to make those for a living. He then tried to make an eggbert out of Legos and quickly got frustrated and abandoned it. So much for the dream job! =]

Next we were hungry, so we got a crepe dish in the food court, which was delicious! All fueled up, we were ready to shop!

We checked out stores like Urban Outfitters and American Apparel. We ran into the big shark mascot for the MOA's aquarium, and Eddie just had to get a picture with him!

We shopped til we dropped, and we found a Minnesota store where Eddie scored some cool souvenirs for his mom!

Exploring Uptown, and a Little Shopping

Yesterday, Eddie, Liz and I went to Uptown!

Eddie was really excited to explore more, because last time we went we just got tea and he didn't get to see very much.

We started out in Calhoun Square, then browsed stores such as Everyday People (my favourite store!) and Heartbreaker. Eddie made friends with a panther in Heartbreaker. While shopping, he also picked out some goodies for his mommy. He saw a huge pile of socks and wanted a picture with the, because he thought it was funny since Walter had a picture with colourful socks too.

He had so much fun walking around and window shopping, but he really liked the people-watching in that area. He was really amused watching all the hipsters.

He's excited because today he's going to a pool party!
