LEGOLAND

Last weekend we had the opportunity to go to Legoland with Joseph, Tracy and David Larsen. I regret that we didn't take a picture with all of us together! It was a fun day. Legoland is a beautiful park and is a lot cleaner (and newer) than the other amusement parks I've been to. It is perfectly suited for kids ages 2-12, probably ideal for kids 5-8 because then the kids are big enough to do most everything but not bored on the kiddie rides. So, I thought the park was perfect for Calvin. Calvin and Dave went and rode some big kid rides for a couple of hours which was really fun for Calvin. He even went on the fast roller coaster.

Calvin in front of the New York City model made of Legos. Lego miniland was pretty amazing. Super detailed and very interesting. There were models of San Francisco, southern CA, Daytona 500, Washington DC, Las Vegas, New Orleans.

All of us infront of Vegas.

I thought this ride was so cool!

drivers school for 3-5 year olds. when they were done they got a drivers licence for lego cars! Calvin loved it!

Memorable Moments:

While I was changing Alexey's diaper (she was laid out on a blanket and I was leaning over her) a bird pooped ALL over us. On my hair, hat, ear. On lexies face, bib, clothes. On our blankets...everywhere. It was DISGUSTING.

We lost Clare for about 10-15 minutes. Dave had a security guard on the radio about to close down the gates of the park. Here's the story: Clare had told me she wanted to stand in line with Calvin on the car ride so I said okay and kind of pushed her into the gates of the line so she could get to calvin. Then I started talking to dave and didn't think to check and make sure she made it to Calvin in line until a few minutes later. She was not with Calvin or us or anywhere to be seen. We frantically ran around looking for her for about 5 minutes and finally I found her holding the hand of a lady. The woman said she had seen clare walking from our direction and held on to her so she wouldn't get too far away and then just watched for the parents to come looking for her. She had no clue she was lost and wasn't the least bit scared. Throughout the day we kept and extra close watch on her and noticed that she is quite a wanderer. Several times she would just leave us and start walking away. (but we'd stop her) She has been super clingy and scared of everything so we were not used to her wandering around like that. Most days, even at home, she won't let go of Dave's leg if he is home.
