On New Years Eve we wanted to take the kids someplace "fun". We thought about a movie, but Ed and Paula are taking them to a movie on Saturday. We thought about taking them bowling, but we did that last week. So, I decided to check and see if something was going on at the Mall of America. Sure enough, they were having a New Years Eve celebration in the Nickelodeon Theme Park. They had lots of things for the kids to do. They had a giant "beach" that the kids could dig for shells in, and then cash them in for a free ride(there was no shortage of shells either)! So, we did that a couple of times. There were many Nick characters there that the kids could meet. Then there was a count down at 10. ALL the kids got noise makers and it was Noisey!!!Then during the countdown...Slow count down...A character came out for each number, they also threw beachballs and streamers out. Then when they got to zero they let a ton of balloons fall from the ceiling and the ball dropped. The whole night cost us $18 and that was for supper! Wow, I sure got lucky finding a good deal!
FINDING THE SHELLS
All the kids with "Sharky" from Underwater Adventures, Nessa wasn't to fond of him!
They got to meet and pose with Dora and Diego(Austin was too big for this)
Nessa with Blue. He was the first character we saw when we got to the park, she ran right up to her and gave her a hug!
Nessa trying to see the characters come out during the countdown (my point and shoot really does not shoot ver flattering pictures!)
Austin attempting to help Carson see.
On New Years Day we took the kids over to the pool hill to go sliding. It was so nice outside we were able to stay for a very long time. The kids had a blast...check it out!
All bundled up!

The kids went over to the church for awhile this morning to play on the snow mountain with the neighbors. Today is also Austin's 10th birthday! We are going to go shopping this afternoon they all got some money for Christmas and are anxious to spend it. Then we are going to go out for dinner tonight.
