This post is dedicated to 2 of the most Lego-loving people I have ever met...
My brother Peter and my little man Ethan.
Me: "Ethan, would you rather go to Disneyland or Legoland."
Ethan: "LEGOLAND!"
Stars Wars + Legoland = heaven on earth for my 6 year old
Pete, we have to plan a trip for next year...once your baby #2 is here!
And so it is.
Sit back and get ready to see more legos than you'll ever knew even existed...;)
{Lego Love}
Okay, I have to admit, I loved this Ewok village built in the trees.
{Hittin' the Road}
{Apple Fries}
Highly recommended.
{Lego WaterPark}
Opened last year. Who doesn't love a good water slide?
Ethan couldn't get enough of the lifeguard games...
and Aidan couldn't get enough of the sand.
{Treasure Hunting}
Cousin Trey, you have to do it. You just have to. They don't let you keep the treasures you find, but you do get a cool medal instead.
{F-u-n}
When will Disney get it? This is what we do while we wait in lines for rides. The lines typically wind around the legos so parents can watch their kids and get them right before they get on the ride. Brilliant. Thank-you Legoland.
Although a little ride-shy, this 2 1/2 had the time of his life. He loved running around, riding trains & planes, playing in water, yelling at us, & being with his dad.
Love ya Legoland.
{Spring Chicklet}
Hey there little fella'! You've been waiting a while to wave your wings at us & the time is finally here! How about we show these great crafters the story of your little life...shall we?
What's that? Oh, right...I'll be sure to tell them about the
tutorial booklet that's also available.
{Simple Starts: From Scraps to Stuffing}

Aw, look at you!
But we all know that it's "not good for man chick to be alone"...
Ah, yes. That's much better!

You can have this simple tutorial at your fingerprints in seconds!

So what are you waiting for? You've got Spring Easter Baskets to fill, right?:)
{Bliss}
What's that you're saying Mr. Chick?
Aw, Happy Easter to you too!

Have fun!
Love, Emily aka "Toad":)
