We took the kids to the cities this weekend to go to the Mall of America, visit friends and swim in the hotel. It's a good think we hit the mall fairly early Saturday morning; by the time we left, we could hardly walk through the mall because there were so many people.
We had a good time, but the snow slowed us down a bit - especially considering our tires have terrible traction - and we had to spend an extra night at a hotel in Glencoe.
Unfortunately, there was no pool, but Elena went outside and played in the snow in the parking lot for about 45 minutes. Sam was too cold...it would help if he would let us put proper clothes on him. He still dresses himself in a tank top and shorts everyday, and no amount of reasoning will convince him to do otherwise. He tried going out with his snowsuit today, but every step he took went up to his thighs and before long, he fell over and couldn't get up so I had to come out and rescue him. It reminded me a lot of the little brother walking to school in A Christmas Story.
Back to our trip home from Glencoe: it was a long ride home and we saw a lot of cars in the ditch, but we made it.
Now we can hunker down and enjoy the snow. And buy new tires.
