Go White Sox!

Nick and I must be bad luck, for the second year in a row the team we were cheering on live at a MLB game came out on the losing end. Sorry White Sox, we will stay away for the rest of the season.

This past Friday/Saturday we made an overnight trip to MN with our friends, the Vodenik Family. Friday morning we dropped Eleanor off at Grandma and Grandpa Thorson’s house for the day/night. From the sounds of it she had a great time and made a new furry friend (Daisy the Dog). We drove up for the game Friday night, and managed to fit in a little shopping at the Mall of America the next day before heading back to pick up Ellie from the farm.

Here are a few fun picks from the trip:
The four of us before the game
The new stadium
Nick and I outside Target Field

I hadn’t been to the MoA in a number of years; I forgot how much fun the place is. We may have to make a trip back so Eleanor and I can do some shopping, while Nick checks out a few mountain bike trails.

Is the Gymboree at MoA huge? The lady at our store said they send a lot of their clearance stuff there! I want to go sometime!!

It was decent, but not that much bigger than the one at Valley West Mall (at least I didn't think). They did have a decent amount of sale stuff, even after the Gymbucks promotion started.
