First Stop.........LEGOLAND!!!!!!!

Roman's friend invited him over to San Diego to go to the Chargers-Bears game.......he even offered his place for us to stay in, so we all went. On our first day we splurged and took the kids to Legoland. We got there right when it opened and stayed most of the day. We could have stayed even longer, but the kids were getting tired. We could have used another couple of days there actually. We ALL LOVED it!!!!!!!

A great family shot! Normally we don't buy these, but this one turned out so good with all of us.

Walking up the the entrance they have these people made out of legos that looked pretty life-like. At first glance I thought they were real : )

A beautiful entrance with this huge pond & legos all around it.

I loved this shot.

They wouldn't let us all go in the same boat, but we still enjoyed it ......the kids really wanted to go on it again, but we ran out of time.

It was so cute, Sidney was so cute.....she can't wait to see what's next.

The Three Little Pigs........

.....and the Big Bad Wolf

Look.......it's my prince charming........with a cell phone???? (okay, maybe it's a walkie talkie, but WTH???) I thought it was funny : )

Ahhhhhhh, I love the fairytales........sleeping beauty (or snow white I guess, since she has the dark hair)

I'd almost forgotten about Hanzel & Grettle

Loved the genie!

Little Red Riding Hood....."Grandma, you look a little different?!"

I was amazed at how beautiful it was there.....me, trying to be a little artsy : )

Gotta love it.....the little piggies rockin' out!

They had all these little water areas......plus, there's a water park within Legoland. (Sidney's pouting here because she wants another turn on the bike sprayer)

I thought that this was so cute........Cameron's getting "scared" by Daddy.

They had quite a few little playgrounds too that the kids wanted to just hangout at and play.......but Daddy was on a mission to try and see it all, so we let them play for at least a few minutes.

They had these cars that the boys could actually ride by themselves! This is Carter......Cameron was having a little bit of a rough time to get his going.

A moment where they are actually all getting along. YAY!

I didn't like this one because Cameron is covering up his face, but it's still cute! The kids had to wait and take turns on this one, as none of them were big enough to ride it by themselves. They did so great!

Mommy gets a shot in with Carter, who was LOVING the helicopter ride. (Who know they had rides?)

Finally, Sidney's turn!

I was just amazed and fascinated by all the things they had created and their intricacies. I took over 100 pictures that day!

Sidney got to get her face painted.......I was amazed that she sat so still and was ok with having her eyes painted. (although she does like me to put some of my eye shadow on her sometimes......but this was all around her eyes)

My beautiful girl! They had a full length mirror for her to look at herself in......and she was striking quite a few poses.....it was REALLY cute!

AMAZING!!!!!!!......that's all I can say.

So detailed. I loved just slowly walking by and taking them all in.

Look at this building.......INCREDIBLE!!!!!

Carter and I walked hand in hand and just really appreciated all the work that must have gone into all of these. How cool of a job would that be?!!!!!

A little break at the beach......hey, we're in So. Cal., what do you expect?

Loved this whole waterfront scene too.......they had like whole little towns built. This is where Carter & I caught up with the rest of the family.

This looks real, doesn't it?

You could put money in these and actually drive some of the boats around.

Don't tell anyone, but I think Daddy was having the most fun here ; )

It's a backyard fiesta!

A parade in China town. Such attention to detail!

A marching band at the capital......the band members actually moved around too.

It was really cute........we were walking down this path and Carter was zig-zagging back & forth to step-up and touch all of the busts.

So cool! This dragon was HUGE!!!

They had an area where the kids got to borrow some wheels and could make their own little car and race them in a couple of different places.

I know this one is blurry, but I thought it was so cute......Carter was so excited to race his he went down the track after it, to go up the other ramp (they have been watching a lot of extreme sports lately : )

Sidney's cool car : )

I thought this was too funny.........a life-sized Chia-Pet made out of legos.

Playing is hard work!!! We had barely left the parking lot and all three kids were out : )

I thought this was too funny........she REALLY wanted the whole outfit.....the pink sword, shield and cape.......Mommy would have caved (she wants to be Barbie from the 3 musketeers for Halloween), but Daddy was firm......only one item (which she was lucky to get cuz the face painting was pricey and Cameron wanted a spider on his face, but Roman was in a hurry to see it all, so he didn't get that.) She kept hanging it from her feet......even while she was sleeping. LOL.

I would SO love to take the kids back there again! (Hopefully someday soon : )
