Legoland...

You hear about everybody coming to California to go to the beach and to Disneyland, but a rare jewel of a theme park down here is the amazing... LEGOLAND! Well, it's like a Lagoon times 10, made out of Legos, and much cleaner. I guess it's pretty international with parks in Europe, etc. Lego is a Danish company but apparently has connections with Volvo because, if you drive a Volvo, you can park right up front.

We are so lucky to have had family visiting so much. It has made the transition so much easier! Our Grandma and Grandpa came and are the ones who took us to the park. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa.

Coming out of an egyptian ride reminiscent of the Buzz Lightyear ride where you shoot at things.

Baylub on a speedy water ride with Grandpa. The park offered lots of water rides including a little water playground and even a separate water park. Amazingly enough, here on So Cal in the middle of July it was FREEZING. You may notice the kids are in jackets and long pants and even then, we were chilly.

The park had lots of very large sculptures made entirely of Legos. That was pretty fun to see.

Baylub was too small to go on many of the rides and Lulu could ride even less. They did have this darling little Duplo land just right for toddlers. The best thing... no lines! The whole area was more of a big soft playground. Here are the kids caught in jail.

Despite the cold, we just had to have an ice cream. Lu wanted pink (because she wants everything pink) and Baylub got chocolate.

The kids didn't get a nap and we spent all day in the park and when kids are ornery, sometimes they want really strange, irrational things. What's the strange difference between these two pictures?

You may note that Baylub's hat is on Bob the Builder (who is made entirely out of Legos). He just had to have the hat up there. Why? I don't know and I'm pretty sure he doesn't either. He just wanted it that way. I love these two.

No pictures of Jo, but she deserves a big high-five for being the sweetest most well behaved baby in the world. She chilled in the stroller and was as cute as can be.

We had a blast. Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa!
