Trip To Mall of America

This past weekend Stella and I traveled with my wonderful mother in law, Linda to the Mall of America. She really wanted to take Stella to the American Girl Store and to eat there.  We had a fantastic weekend! :)
Eating lunch on Saturday once we got to the mall.

Linda had a BIG surprise up her sleeve and bought Stella a new American Girl Doll!! Stella was beyond thrilled! At first she really wanted Kit, then she saw Emily and fell in love with her. Here she is deciding between the two.  She decided on Emily until.......

....we headed upstairs and she saw the "Just Like Me Dolls" and then she wanted a doll that looked like her. So that's what she got! Her doll had the exact same color of hair as Stella and a few freckles across her nose.  The only major difference is Stella has hazel colored eyes and the doll has blue eyes.

We had dessert at the American Girl Cafe. Very cute. Stella named her new doll Sophie. So Sophie, Stella, Linda and I all shared an ice cream sundae and fruit smoothie.

We shopped some and checked in at the hotel and swam for a bit. Then we headed back to the mall and ate at the Rain Forest Cafe. It was a lot of fun! Stella and the tree frog.

Getting ready to ride a ride at the amusement park in the center of the mall.

Getting ready for bed. Stella brought up her other two dolls, Kanani and McKenna. Stella had so much fun and it will be a trip she'll always remember taking with her Grandma! :)
