This past weekend we visited the brand new Grand Lodge indoor water park kiddy-corner from the Mall of America. What a cool place - for both adults and kids (all sizes). Audrey loved playing in the wee tots' playground while Joshua opted for going down the big water rides. The great part about this place is that nearly all the rides are kiddy-friendly. However, we did have to walk up 10 flights of stairs for the family rafting ride - well worth the journey though - even with a toddler at the hip.

The rooms at the Grand Lodge were really cool as well - we had a deluxe king room and it had a pair of bunk beds to boot. Josh must have climbed the ladder on those darn bunk beds about 50 times.

We also visited UnderWater World at the Mall of America. That was really neat - much neater than we thought it would be. The fish exhibits were amazing - particularly the sharks! Even Audrey was in awe of the BIG toothy fishy's. Oh, on that toothy note, Audrey's second tooth came in on our trip - so CUTE. But oh, are they sharp little buggers!
