We celebrated our niece, Aubrey's, birthday at Nickelodean Universe at The Mall of America. Daryl was able to go on a lot of rides as long as an adult went with him. He had so much fun! I definitely think he is a thrill-seeker!

His first ride - "Big Rigs" with Daddy!

Daddy's legs were scrunched up against the cab of the truck.

Riding "Blue's Skidoo" with Mommy

"Yeah, that was fun!"

Cousin Gavin & Daryl having a boys' conversation

Daryl even got to meet Sponge Bob! He has a small Sponge Bob toy from a cereal box at home (we don't have cable, so he's never seen the show). As soon as Mommy started singing the Sponge Bob song, Daryl smiled like, "Hey, I do know that guy!"

"Giddy up!"

"Wheeee"

Melanie, Gavin, Daryl and I on the swinging bus

Daryl was getting impatient - "Come on, let's get this thing started!" He and Gavin didn't know what to think about the screaming kids 2 rows ahead of us - they both just stared and looked around.

Riding the train

Choo Choo!

You can barely see the top of his head in this picture - he's sitting next to his Mommy with Daddy sitting opposite.

This ride almost put him to sleep.
