Austin and Kaylee playing

We took Austin up to Kansas City and he met and got to play with Kaylee, his cousin.





Austin and Kaylee each got a Jack Russell Terrier at the Build-A-Bear.

Eskimo Joes

Georges Stables, Stillwater, OK

On our way up to Kansas City this weekend, we stopped off in my old college town, Stillwater, and had lunch at Eskimo Joes (next set of pics).

This place is across the street from Joes. It is significant because Garth Brooks used to play there when he was in college at Oklahoma State.

Mall of America -- Lego Store

There is a huge Lego store in the mall. Here are some interesting things found there:

Prehistoric Creatures

The ISS and Shuttle

And Other Stuff Too

Mall of America -- Baseball Ties

The mall was built on the site of the old Metropolitan Stadium (where the Twins played). This plaque marks the spot where the old home plate. They also kept a stadium seat on the spot where favorite son Harmon Killebrew's longest home (520') run landed. It is really weird seeing this red stadium seat seemingly randomly placed on a wall in a corner of the amusement park in the mall.
