Beating the Heat ~ Bring Lots of Quarters!

When Ben’s mom was visiting last month, one of the activities we did was hit up one of the indoor malls in the area to ride their rides.  Now if you are from Minnesota, you are probably picturing this:

Instead you should be picturing this:

Yes we spent the morning using the quarters that Nonna brought with her to ride all the little rides.  They had a lot of them.  They also had a train that took you around the whole inside of the mall.

And what was Savannah doing during all this excitement?

, 

Yep, she slept through the first hour or so that we spent at the mall.

Once she finally woke up we ate lunch, Nonna bought the kids some very cute clothes, and then we hit up the last ride at the mall.  The Merry-Go-Round!

It was a good thing that we waited for Savannah to wake up, because otherwise we would have missed her screaming through the entire thing.  Apparently she isn’t a fan.

What about you?  What have you been doing the beat the heat?
