In January, the Van Heukelom family spent a few days in the Twin Cities. It's a good meeting spot for the Iowans and Joel, the South Dakotan. We did this last year too (three years ago we went with just Jon, Stef, and Sydney) and I think we plan to make it an annual event with the whole family. We stayed in a hotel with a wonderful pool for the kids which is located right by the Mall of America. We spent all of our time at the pool and Nickelodeon Studios.
My favorite picture of the trip... love them.
Both kids love the water!
Jace insisted on wearing his goggles like this pretty much the entire time.
Grandma Ruth and Asher
Aunt Stef and Asher
Papa Gary and Jace
I obviously wasn't able to ride all the rides, but I got my fair share of the little rides with Jace!
Ruby just met the 42 inch height requirement and was able to go on some of the bigger rides. And apparently she loved them all! Below is a picture of her favorite ride: Splat-o-sphere. Brings you up high and drops you... :) I'm pretty sure they went on this ride 20 times.
One afternoon we went to the aquarium at the Mall of America.
Jace went one afternoon without a nap but by the second full day, he was ready for a nap. For a little guy who usually takes 3-4 hour naps each afternoon, he did exceptionally well!
We had a wonderful trip and loved spending time together as a family!
