Girl's/Boy's Night Out

We had a great time out last night. We met some friends of ours that we met when we lived in Duluth (Scott and Rachel Stene (and children) who now live in Sparta WI) at the Mall of America. After dinner we split gals and guys. The guys went to see Monster Trucks and the gals went to the American Girl Doll Store that just opened at the MOA.

Grace and I had a wonderful time. She ooooed and ahhhed over all the dolls (especially Kit). The we went to the Bistro and had a dessert. There were special doll chairs that hooked up to the table and if you didn't have your own doll they had a bunch for the girls to choose from to have as a dinner guest. The doll was given her own menu and dessert too! Everything was perfectly girly but not over the top. Rachel's mom suprised Isabelle and Grace with a "pick any book you would like" gift. No suprise Grace picked "Meet Kit" she also got a free activity book too. So when we got home she stayed up till 10 reading and doing the activities in her book. The guys on the other hand didn't get home till 12:30!

Asa and Zeke had a great tine watching all the big trucks. I crawled into bed with Zeke this morning and he said "Mom, the trucks vroom, (crashing noise) vrooooom (crashing noise). " They also rode the light rail from the mall to the event at the Metrodome. When asked they were torn to decide which was more fun, the trucks or the train.

I do have pictures forthcoming. For some reason I forgot our camera, but Rachel's mom said she will send me he photos she took. I will post them when they arrive!

It's all in the genes...

The really scary part is that she had never seen this photo of her Dad...
