The kids in the cast of “Little House on the Prairie, the Musical” have to go to school every Tuesday through Friday, but the chaperones get most days off. Helen, Joe, Kelly and I were able to go to the Mall of America while Taylor “cracked the books. What a “place!” Here’s a picture of Helen and Kelly heading into the mall.
It has three levels of shops (some sections of the mall have four floors) –grounded by four major stores on each corner—Macy’s, Nordstroms, Sears and Bloomingdales. So what’s so unique about that? IT’S THE CENTER OF THE MALL!
It’s a real, big time amusement park with rides that accommodate young and “older kids” alike. The rides include several versions of roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, a three-story skywalk—enough to keep you busy for a full day.
Movie matinees are only $6 for all ages and they have a free show on Saturday morning. There’s a full scale Aquarium located under the mall. What a place to spend a day!
Here are some pictures from the Mall and the opening night party at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts:

The three show kids finally get a day off on Monday (one cast member from the Minneapolis area is holding a house party for the cast.)
On Wednesday, the kids and some of the chaperones are going on a class trip to the Science Museum of Minnesota with an IMAX show and Titanic exhibit. I don’t know about the kids, but I’m looking forward to it!
Little House got a great review in the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. Here it is:
