It's our fifth full day here. Almost 2pm and he fell asleep again. We were planning on going to the Mill City Museum since it's a little cloudy and supposed to rain. But I think he's pooped. On the third day it snowed! There were big giant flakes coming down and he refused to go out. But by 3pm we convinced him that at the Mall of America we would be inside the whole time. So we went and stayed till 9pm. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe where he bought a souvenier mug. He looked for one for Jody but couldn't find anything with her name on it. He really liked the moving gorillas and rainstorm. We also went to the aquarium where the fish swim above our heads. There were also sea horses and lots of turtles. He liked the sawfish the best. We mostly just walked around the mall and looked at the amusement park. At first he wanted to go on the rollercoaster but after he saw it in person he said no. I wish he would have gone on the ferriswheel at least. But he was getting a little grumpy by the end of the day. On the forth day we went to visit Marty and Rita, David's parents, in Richmond which is about an hour and a half away. It's a very small farming town with not a whole lot to see. But they took him on a drive around horseshoe lakes where Marty fishes. It was too cold to take the boat out. So everyone was encouraging dad to come out again in the summer. He really liked visiting with everyone. David's two brothers and their wives came to meet him. And they made a big meal, a traditional MN fish fry. They cooked up 40 sunfish, the last bunch they had caught over the summer. There was a ton of food and dad ate everything. He had a lot of fun chatting with Marty. But was most interested and happy to watch Curtis, David's 9 year old nephew. Dad told him he'll teach him Judo next time he comes. And afterwards said, "that chubby boy is really smart". We really want him to come out again since the weather has made it hard to do a lot. He's doing really well here, adjusting easily, and not getting too confused. There are a lot of stairs, unfortunately, but David put in a hand rail for him. We wish he could stay out longer but with the weather, it would be better for him to come out for a longer stay this summer. Jody, can you work on that?!
