Beach/ Legoland

Day 3 was set aside to recover from Disneyland. We did some shopping in downtown Laguna, then met my Mom's cousin Janie and her husband George, and my Aunt Bonnie and all of her kids down at the beach for a BBQ. It was awesome, a perfect night.

The next day we went to Legoland in Carlsbad. I had heard a lot of good things about it and we were all really excited. We were a little bit disappointed at the beginning. the lines for the rides were really long, and none of them were super spectacular, so it felt like kind of a waste. The Lego demonstrations were cool but needed some care. Most had lots of cob webs and were faded from the sun. By the end of the day the crowds had thinned out and we were able to get on a lot of rides. MaryEllen had a great time, but we probably wont go back any time soon.
Henry was so proud of this tower!

Some of the vegies in this garden were real, some were Legos.







one of the more lame rides.

These 2 were pretty cool, both were made entirely of Legos- the light Sabres too!



We stopped for pizza on the way back to our house. Henry fell asleep sitting up with a full mouth of pizza!

Thank Heaven for all of the ipods we've won over the years. We loaded them up with kids shows and gave each kid a set of headphones. They kept quiet for most of the drive there and back!


Well that's finally the end of our vacation! It was so fun, but it was great to get back home and back to a routine!
