Trip to Minneapolis.

 this is us waiting at Mcdonalds.

On the 11th . and the 12th we went to Minneapolis Minnisota for a doctor oppointment for Teddy. It took us about 9 hours to get there. We managed to get there around 5:15, then we went to our hotel just so we could know where it was. None of us even got out of the van.After that we went to the Mall of America! It was HUGE!!!! Dad and I had gone there once on the way to a junior bible quiz with our freinds the hoversons.  Anyway, we got there and ate panda express,(that is a chinese resturant) at the food court. Then we walked around the mall. (By the way, we did not buy anything :D ) then we went and checked in to our hotel room and got settled in. After that we went to the swimming pool. We stayed there till about 9:45 and then went to bed. The next morning Mom and Dad went to the hospital with Teddy for his appointment. While they were gone us kids watched TV. After the parents and Teddy came back they said the appointment went well, then we packed up and left. We were planning on getting home pretty late. When we were in the suburbs of Minneapolis, the van engine started missfiring, so we stoped at a town called Maple Grove.  By that time we had gotten there it was lunch time so we went in to McDonalds while Dad took the van to a Firstone that was across the street. ... so we ended up staying in McDonalds for about 3 hours.  It was a long wait but we played a game called 20 questions a lot.  A lady came up to Mom and said that she was from a family of 6 boys and 3 girls, just like us.  She said she didn't think they were as quiet.  (This was before the ice cream cones)  They were very nice, and invited us to stay with them if the van didn't get fixed!  So after it was almost finished Dad and Trevor ran out to the Firstone and soon Mom got a call from Dad and he said that all went well and they were taking it for a test drive.  Pretty soon we saw them pull up in the parking lot.  We ended up getting home at 12:30 PM!!!

 Tim looks pretty bored.
