We've been living in Minnesota for almost 9 months now and Madeline still hasn't been to the Mall of America! So, this weekend while Grandma and Grandpa Frantz were here visiting from Indiana we thought it was the perfect time to give it a try :-) We went to Underwater World - the nation's largest underground aquarium! We saw freshwater fish... 
and a bear! 
Madeline thought this cartoon shark was cool... 
little did she know we were going to see real ones next!
The next room the fish were swimming all around us - even above our heads! 
We saw sharks and stingrays and lots of colorful fish! 
Looks like everyone is having fun :-)
We think we even saw Nemo! 
They had a ship at the end that everyone could play on :-) 
Madeline really didn't want to leave the ship but we finally convinced her that petting the stingrays could be just as fun! We think she liked it :-) 
After seeing all of the fish we were hungry so we decided to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. They had monkeys and parrots and a real rain storm with lightning and thunder and everything! 
What a great day! We'll have to come back to the Mall soon :-)
