Birthday Fun at MOA

We had one more day of birthday fun with Esme at Mall of America.  The kids didn't have school Monday so Parker hung out with Grandpa Buxton while Esme, Nana, and myself went to the mall for a morning of adventure.  The first thing she wanted to do was go on the escalator.  We did that a lot!
We walked around the first floor while waiting for Build-a-Bear Workshop to open up.  Esme threw a couple coins in the fountain.
I've been thinking about doing this with her for a while since she loves her stuffies so much.  She pretty quickly chose Mei-Mei in panda form from Turning Red.  It was already pretty busy, but we got in line just in time to escape the long wait at the filling station.
She also picked out some adorable Turning Red pajamas, but Mei-Mei is bigger than the regular bears, so they didn't fit.  She picked out some cool sneakers instead.
She got to press the pedal while the worker filled her panda.
Then she added a delicious strawberry scent and a special heart.  She gave her a big hug before the worker closed her up with 6 knots for turning 6!
Next up we stopped by Nickelodeon Universe and tried a couple rides. We've come here a couple times with Parker, but never with Esme.  She had a blast!
Last stop was to get some ice cream before heading home.
