fyi part 5

The nice thing about Mom's daily habits is that she journals daily and while attending events, she takes "notes" in a small book that she carries in her purse. What a great idea for those of us who scrapbook! How else do you remember the details? It has been so nice re-reading and re-living Mom and Logan's visit! Thanks, Mom!

Dear All: part 5 -

While @ the Mall of America, Logan & I decided to enjoy Famous Dave's Restaurant. The waitress asked if we minded sitting on the porch - huh? It was right where shoppers passed by which was fine w/us. If you ever get a chance, enjoy Dave's babyback ribs.

The waitress said since we were hungry for ice cream next to to to Cold Stone Creamery just around the corner. This place was unique. Logan picked cotton candy ice cream plus cheesecake ice cream. The worker scoops out each kind, then "smashes" it together on a marble piece. Then you can add any amount of extras. He chose Reese's peanut butter cups. I know it sounds terrible but it was delicious.

Next we took part in a new movie survey. The movie was Cars starring Paul Newman & Owen Wilson. You put on glasses w/earphones that showed a small piece of the movie to you. Then you answered questions about it. Interesting.

Logan had wanted to go w/the boys to Camp Snoopy (now known as "The Park). So that night was the only night available for all of us. We all trooped through a department store to get to the park in the center. You used a machine to enter your money, then it gave you a "ticket" that deducted your points each time you went on a ride. I was expecting the boys being only 5 & 7 to go on the kiddie rides but NO - they rode the Mighty Axe (twirling upside down and high up in the air as Marcy & I could barely look), flume ride, the Spinner, and Logan & Xander in the spook house. They had a great time.

5/9/06 - I went for a walk around the block as Logan stayed at the house. I looked over at two houses when 2 beautiful deer ran through the grass there. What a shock in that area!

Marcy & Kyle belong to Netflix. For those of you who don't know about it, you send them a list of movies you want to "rent" and they send you 2 at a time. When you're done watching them, you send them back in a postage paid envelope they provide and they send you more on your list. They had received the movie The Notebook. It was a very well done movie. We both ended up watching it. Hope all of you get a chance to see it.

That's all for now. Have a great day!
