From Chicago to Jordan, MN (0utside of Minneapolis)

Our next stop was at my cousin Amanda's house. Our time there included a trip to the Mall of America, which involved a lot of time riding rides and LegoLand. We were also able to take part in there neighborhood's annual 4th of July parade. The kids were able to decorate their wagons, etc. and then march around the neighborhood. (Samuel won an honorable mention award and $2.00!!) Brian was also able to squeeze in a round of golf with Amanda's husband Joe. One of the holes you had to tee off and hit across water. So much water that then you had to drive your golf cart onto a fairy and ride it across the lake to the green. Only in Minnesota!!!
