Mall of America

We spent the day at the Mall of America. The largest shopping mall in the U.S.
The boys build racecars at LEGOland. We ate Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Did allot of walking and shopping.
Dakota building his racecar.

David, Colton, Duane and Kirk building their racecars.
It was quite a job finding the wheels and axels.

We took a break from shopping by playing an 18 hole round of mini-golf.

Colton was the most talented today getting a hole-in-one

and "flushing the toilet" on the 17th hole. David had a game of bad luck.

The rest of us were just average. We had fun anyways.

We ate at the Rain Forest Cafe.

Wipeout!

Our Family "Catching a wave"!

Full Day at the WaterPark of America

We went for a Keinanen Family record in time spent in a water park. Today 8 hours.
So much water not enough time. David thought we were crazy. We loved it, but we were cold, wet and water logged after 8 hours. We were in great need of some R & R.

Duane, Trica and Colton have fun on the Lazy River.

David, Colton, Kirk play basketball.

Dakota spent most of his two days in the hot tub.

We all tried surfing today. I only have pictures of some of us.

Kirk was a natural.

WaterPark of America

We drove 2.5 hours to spend some time at the Radisson WaterPark of America. When we arrived we found out we could not start our swimming until 4 pm. So we hung out in the hotel room, got a bite to eat, and played in the arcade.
