{Tour of Legoland}

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.

Picture Catch Up {Bob&My Faves}

{Playing Catch up}

I just realized that it was a month today that we returned from our little CA trip! I can't get behind in my blogging my pictures or it may turn into the huge piles of pictures and scrapbooking materials {heavin forbid} that I NEVER get to! Besides, I knew you couldn't wait another today to see the pictures of our {Bob's and mine} favorite pictures!

{Gina's Pizza} If you're a CA local and can make it to Irvine-- this pizza place is worth the trip. My sister in law's sister {okay, that's a mouthful!} Chelsea told us about it and we had to check it out! {Thanks Chels!}

Not only was the pizza YUMMY, but for get the crayons and color pages. They give the kids pizza dough to play with while they wait! Plus everyone there was totally cool...ah, I love Southern Cal.

{Tanya and Lucy} I love these gals and love this picture.

{A LegoLand Miracle} This was the only time and place that this little guy actually took a nap in his stroller. Yes, I love Legoland.

{DVD player} My best traveling friend...the portable DVD player. And to give you a hint as to one of my little "traveling" sewing projects coming up...it will protect the DVD player while carrying it all over the place!

{The Button} Look out below! You know how toddler's love pushing your buttons, mmmm, I mean pushing buttons?:) I let Aidan's talents be utilized to get a few people wet on this ride! Yes, he LOVED it & so did all of the people watching...

{Ahoy Trey-Boy} I don't know if there is a more photogenic kid around. This is my nephew Trey. Love him.

{Look out Zurg!} Trey and I really went for it on Buzz Lightyear...unfortunately I didn't learn until later that you get more points for the triangles. {There's a hint for you to beat your husbands next time!:)}

{LOVE it} You all know I have a crush on Legoland. Besides having legos to play with while the kids wait in line for rides {come on Disney...help us out!}, the free courtesy tampons in the restrooms, & the best activities for toddlers: Legoland also had this... bless you Legoland.

{Group Shot minus Me} While I was taking this shot a guy came up and asked me where he could pick up his pictures...sorry sir, I don't work here.:)

I don't feel that badly---My dad was wearing a floral shirt with the volunteer tag and he was asked for directions SEVERVAL times. {We took advantage of Disney's Volunteer a Day program and all got in to Disneyland FREE for the day! Thank-you Disney!}

{My Mentor} I love 2 things about this picture...1) Its a picture of Tanya {my photo mentor} taking a picture & 2) The guy with the Oregon hat in the background.

{Little Lu} I loved hangin' with this chic aka my sweet niece Lucy. We loved the rockets, Buzz lightyear, swimming, and a number of other fun activities together.


{Bob + Water= Fun} My husband LOVES to swim...especially with his boys. I'm so grateful. I don't mind getting in, but I HATE being cold. Too many years freezing on the swim team I guess.


And may our {and YOUR} next big family vacation be as memorable as this one.;) {And may it come sooner than later!:)}
