This past weekend, Kevin and Ruth came to visit us! We were so happy to have them! They were able to get Kennedy from school and, boy was she surprised!!! We relaxed on Friday evening and on Saturday we spent the morning and early afternoon at the Mall of America!!! I had never been and wow is that an experience! We went to the Aquarium in the mall and it was really cool!  Here are the first pictures of the kids touching the starfish and sea snails.



Sting ray!!

Here are the creepy sea snakes....Kennedy, "look at those freaky little snakes!!"  They were kindof cute probably because they were in a tank!

Ruth and the kids checking out the tide pool.

Jellyfish!!!

They had a really need tunnel that you could see all sorts of animals. 



As the sea creatures, sharks, sting rays, turtles, many fish, were swimming around, they would be on top of you.  Carter didn't want to be too careful so he would duck down.  Too cute!!!



Sawnose shark.  I just made that up.  I don't know what it was, but that sounds good, right?!

More Sharks!



Kevin pointing out something to the group and no one was listening...sorry Kevin!



Cute little critters!
