Legoland

We took a trip to California last weekend. First we stopped in Yuma, AZ in the whopping 117 degree heat and we had lunch with some old friends and their 2 beautiful daughters, that was fun but we were glad when we made it over the mountains and into San Diego, the temperature then read 85, we promptly rolled our windows down and enjoyed it (although Lizzy was actually COLD!) When we got into San Diego we spent some time and had dinner with a close friend that I haven't seen in 10 years. We had so much fun we didn't want to leave, her children were so sweet and it was really a lot of fun.

The real FUN started when we went to Lego land for the day. Some of the highlights were Phil and Lizzy building their own lego cars and racing them on a track, Liz and I riding the dragon roller coaster (same one Phil and I rode on our honeymoon 8 1/2 years ago), and Sam LOVING the stuffed animal legoman we bought him (he kept hugging it). We were wiped by dinner time and went back to the hotel to swim (and I read my Breaking Dawn book.) The next day We went through Los Angeles to the American Girl store. Lizzy has been reading the books and is really into the doll Kit. She was able to use allowance that she has been saving for many months and we ate at the cafe there. She giggled and had a HUGE smile on her face the whole time.

We had lots of fun and I was sad it was so short. The kids were GREAT in the car on the way there but on the way home they both had their moments of unhappiness, oh well.

Here's some photo's. We stopped by the beach while we were waiting for Lego land to open and since Sam was asleep in the van Liz and Phil went down and took a few pics and i got to stay in the van and read more of Breaking Dawn (they forbid me to take it in to Lego land- so I just stayed up all night Sat. and read it).

That's it for now.
