On April 19th we took the kids to their first ever Twins game and first time at the Metrodome. We thought it would be fun to ride the light rail train to the game. So we went to the Mall of America and tried to find where to park for the light rail, turns out we shouldn't park at the mall instead park at the station about a block away. After eating appetizers at TGI Fridays we bought tickets for the train. Turns out there was an accident with a train and a car nearby, so we had to get on a bus and drive about 15 mins to Fort Snelling to get on the train there. After squeezing in the train and a 20 minute ride we just got to the dome to see the first pitch. It was hard to tell if the kids enjoyed the game more or the hot dog, pop and cotton candy they had. They were amazingly good at the game. Brady played Leapster when we got bored and Madie drew pictures of the stadium. The highlight of the game was the ending. The kids after the game got to run the bases and after a long line got to take pictures with TC bear.
The ride home on the train was a lot better and a lot less crowded. We topped of the day with a visit to ToysRus. We found Brady a Wall-E Eve toy that he gets when he poops in the potty 3 times in a row. Madie got a new High School Musical alarm clock. We finally headed home but not before we went to Dairy Queen for supper. All in all, the kids and us had a great day and the Twins even won the game.
Sounds like a pretty darn good day, all the way around! :)
