Carlsbad Beach

Posted by Alyssa

We left Legoland at about 3 in the afternoon, so we headed over to the beach, which was just down the street!  This was my first time in Carlsbad and I fell in love with their beach.  It was super clean, beautiful, and for a Saturday there were not very many people there!  I'm already looking forward to our next visit there, maybe next time it will be just Mike and I!  :-)


 Because it was a quick visit, we didn't even put swim suits on the kids.  They bolted out of the car and were dying to get in the water!

 Silly boys....

 After running in the waves (which were actually pretty big!), Connor kept getting knocked over.  He was scared the first time, but had a blast the rest of the time!


Hopefully it won't be long till we can visit the beach again!

Legoland

Posted by Alyssa

Our family vacation this year was at Legoland!  Connor is completely obsessed with Legos now, and Jake loves to play with him.  It was the perfect quick getaway.  We arrived at our hotel the night before and went out to dinner and went to the beach down the street for a little bit.  On Saturday we spent most of the day at Legoland (well, till Mike had enough) and didn't see everything.  I see another trip to Legoland in our future.....


 Our first ride was on boats that went on a river that showed you all kinds of cities and monuments made completely of Legos.  Each display was seriously thousands of pieces of Legos! Connor was speechless...

 Off to their safari adventure!
 This ride was fun: the pirate ship swiveled and turned in the air.  Much more fun than the scary one at the fair!
 This Lego pirate guy kept talking every once in a while.  Clara was so scared it was hilarious!
 I know, we're mean parents taking pictures of our poor kids crying....
 Riding helicopters that went up and down-the boys loved controlling it themselves

 They had cities made of Legos-the kids look like giants here! Or look like they are up high looking down at a city far away!
 Building cars and then racing down the ramp
Everyone had a blast and this little getaway was exactly what our family needed: to get out and play away from the hot desert! The boys still talk about it all the time and I would love to come back next summer because I have a feeling Legos are going to be a part of our lives for a while now!
