Legoland Adventure


Thanks to some family friends we got our hands on some free Legoland tickets. My mom offered to keep Isaac for the day so that Natali could have free rein on Mom & Dad (and Spencer). We didn't tell Natali about it until the morning of. We went on a Wednesday, not knowing what the crowd situation would be like, but hoping that by going then it wouldn't be to bad. Natali was SO excited when we told her that Mom & Dad (Dad being the real treat) were taking her on an adventure. She wanted to wear her new Birthday outfit from Grandma. We gave hugs & kisses to Isaac and were off to Carlsbad.

It was a perfect day! Sunny and not too hot. Plus, it just a few miles from the beach so there was a great breeze. We took turns taking Natali on all the rides she wanted to go on. It was so fun! The rides were PERFECT for Natali. She felt like such a big kid. She even went on a few of the rides all by herself. The lines were never long and by the end of the day we convinced her to try a roller coaster....and the girl LOVED IT! She asked to go on it again (that's my girl). I have to admit, it was really nice not to have Isaac. He was too small for any of the rides, plus he isn't into that stuff yet. And he would have miserable riding around in the stroller all day long. We stayed all day at he park and arrived home to find a happy Isaac who was spoiled all day by Grandma.

Natali & Ben on a "tea cups" type ride


Natali riding the Knights Horse...despite the look on her face she loved it!



Natali & Ben on the dueling Pirates boat. I don't think Ben was planning on getting THAT wet.





Natali was SO excited to drive her car. Poor girl picked the busted car that wouldn't turn and kept driving her into the wall. She got really frustrated. They told her she could ride again but she wasn't willing to try it again!


Thanks for the tickets...and thanks to Grandma for keeping the boy! It was a FABULOUS day!

Hey sorry I havent gotten back to you sooner. The day I got back from Utah my Grandpa died and so I had to turn around and go back for the funeral and I just got back wed. So...with that said...I am back in town and hopefully with light and the end of the tunnel that things will get better. Let me know when a good day is for you and lets get the kiddies together. We could do a beach day, hang out at your place or mine whatever you want.
