Nickelodeon Universe

We started off our trip to Minnesota with a trip to Nickelodeon Universe in the Mall of America.  We had TWO free ride bracelets....so it was a fun time (for the kids...and our pocketbook too!)

Kelly rode on three rides last year when we were in Minnesota, but Molly was still too young.  We didn't know how Molly would react as she is pretty much hit or miss on everything.  She LOVED the rides!!!

It was 4 hours of entertainment for FREE...I LOVE IT!
The girls by the sign when we entered Nickelodeon Universe.  If you look close, you can see Kelly is SO EXCITED...and Molly looks scared!
 First ride - A PINK (for Kelly) dog wearing GLASSES (for Molly).
PERFECT!!!
 Second ride....which ended up being BOTH of my girls FAVORITE!!!
(They called it the "up and down" ride!  I think they both rode it 5 times!  Two at the beginning and since it was their favorite, we rode it 3 more times at the end too.)
 Those giggles are priceless!
 Bumper cars.  
Kelly caught on after the second go-around.
 It took Molly a little longer to figure it out, but she liked the bumper cars too.
 Sisters!
 Diego's bus....I rode it with them once and Papa Michael rode it with the girls too...since Molly wasn't tall enough for this ride on her own.
 Kelly's second favorite ride!!!  
(I did it with her the first time and it made me sick!  Kelly LOVED it....and rode it 4 times!)
 Molly wanted to go on this BIG Dora & Boots Ferris wheel......so Papa Michael took the two girls.  Kelly thought it was fun....Molly was a little scared.
 Next up...the hot air balloon (that Kelly spotted from the carasoul!)
 The Log Ride
(Both girls needed a chaperon for this one so I sat with Kelly and Papa Michael sat with Molly)
**Daddy & Grandma Peggy did not want to do any rides.
 OUR BIG SPLASH!
 Hugs for Spongebob!

 My two VERY DIFFERENT girls BOTH had the same favorite ride!
**I love the smiles and giggles this ride brought out of them!
Dora wasn't at Mall of America today (Molly was SAD!)...but we did find a large Dora statue to get a picture with!

**It was a wonderful trip to Nickelodeon Universe!
