Staycation days 2 and 3

Day 2: Monday.

The boys and I had swim lessons and feeding group so the rest of the crew headed off to the Scripps Aquarium. I wasn't there, so I have no pictures to post, but I hear that everyone had fun!!!!

Madison got to hold a sea star, and pet a sea cucumber.

In the afternoon we all went swimming. A friend of mine invited us to their swim and tennis club where they have a great kid pool and two other big pools to frolic in. The kids had a blast, and Todd got in an loosened up his back a bit.


I think these pictures are from day one, but whatever...Ryan told me, "look Mommy we are having a adorable lunch party!" Really it was elevensies...or ninesies.

Day 3: Tuesday or the day we went, or almost didn't make it to, or finally did end up at Legoland.

On our way to Legoland Shelley, Todd, Grammie and Madison had to make a bit of a pit stop. I wasn't in the car, but I hear that there was a lot of painful screams coming from one Miss Madison. So loud that there was talk of an ER. So the decision was made to drop off Grammie, and she, the boys Scott and I would continue on our day. If Maddie felt better, she, Shelley and Todd would join us later.

HOWEVER...by the time they all arrived at Legoland, all was well!!! Yay!!!

Legoland was crazy busy. Lots of people. 30 minute waits for rides just a few minutes after opening. This was our first time at Legoland and we had no idea what to expect.

We still managed to go on a few rides.

Two highlights were the Volvo driving school where 3-5 year old "drivers" were able to drive there own cars. I have video on the video camera that I will try to upload later. Talk about funny. EVERYONE had fun with this ride. The kids on the ride and the grownups watching.

The other big hit was this helicopter ride.


Evan went on twice, once with Mommy and once with Daddy, Ryan had to be convinced but when he did decide to go on the ride, he wanted to ride with Auntie Shwelley.

The boys, specifically Evan had a bit of a meltdown at lunchtime so we headed for the exits. (Madison, got to stay and check out the rest of the park, and the new Sea Life Aquarium!!!)

After some good long naps, the boys were back to their chipper selves, and are here enjoying a adorable after dinner snack.

Tomorrow...the Wild Animal Park, and Dino Mountain!!!!!!!!
