I went to the mall of america for the first time the day after the faire. It's really big and has everything you'd want to buy, eat, or do probably. Within a few minutes of being in the mall the boys had found something they wanted and bought. One is really heavy and one is really long, it's easy to guess which is which.
Here they are in the car to go show off to their friends back in minot
I took a few postcard pictures of the mall
Roller coaster

Ferris Wheel
 
Lego land and AMC
 
Dustin and i went into a flight simulator thing where you get strapped in and it spins you around with a projection of what it'd be like to fly over the mountains and desert. it was cool, cept if our legs or my hair flew up (or down) then it'd make a shadow on the screen.
 
We ate at... i forgot the place but food was good. and saw the movie Crank which was good. reminded me of watching snatch and to d/l lock shock and two smoking barrels later, ack tangent. for the few days we stayed in minneapolis, we camped out with funny neighbors. one side was a family w/ 3 generations who would recite the prayer thingy at night, and the other side were loud drunk tattoo artist people. the camp sites were kinda close in that aspect, but the smores and hot dogs were yummy, tent was nice(even with the leaks in the corners), and the trip was fun overall.
