Legoland {July 2018}

On Saturday, we headed to Legoland for a final trip before our passes expire. We’ve had so many great experiences there the last few years, but we are ready for a little break. The Wrights joined us on Saturday too, which made it even better!

We rode the horses for the first time ever!

LEGO Friends are their favorite!

There were a few new Star Wars additions to Miniland, which Crosby was very excited about! I think LEGO Chewbacca was everyone’s favorite.

Untitled

after legoland, we stopped at hollywood studios on the way home for our first visit to toy story land! the green army men may be my favorite.

Untitled

the wait wasn’t too bad for the alien swirling saucers, so we decided to try them out!

Untitled

Brick or Treat 2017

After our trip to Legoland for Brick or Treat last year, I was sure to put it on our calendar for this year. It’s such a fun event and this year did not disappoint. Even better, the Herolds joined us for the fun.

Untitled

We started with The Groovin’ Graveyard which was a show similar to STOMP. It was super cute, but I think Greg and I enjoyed it more than the kids. We also met Frankenstein!

Untitled

Untitled

Untitled

After riding a couple rides, we headed over to Brick or Treat! The line looked crazy long, but it moved way faster than we expected. The girls loved walking from station to station while the boys opted to ride in style. We loved looking at all the decorations. Greg really wants a pumpkin Lego head for our front yard.

After Brick or Treating, we went back to ride some rides. Crosby got to ride the horse ride for the first time! You must be four years old to ride the horses, but since he was less than a week away, I led them to believe he was already four. Kenley was sure to correct me on the fact that he wasn’t four quite yet. Either way, Crosby was a happy camper.

Untitled

Untitled

We had a quick dinner and stayed for the 3D fireworks show. Afterwards, we loaded up the car in our pjs and headed home! The kids fell asleep pretty quickly in the car after a long day.

Untitled

We had such a great time!

i’m not sure why they are sitting in that spot, but she’s “reading” to him and it was the cutest moment of the night.

Untitled

we headed out to the fall festival that was held at crosby’s school on friday night.

Untitled

ooey gooey fun!

Untitled

brains and eyeballs!

Untitled

crosby was excited to show us his class science project!

Untitled

i was back at it on saturday morning with an early alarm to meet the girls for a run. i wasn’t sure how it would go, but i got in five miles and some quality time with the girls.

Untitled

after our run, we chatted over coffee at starbucks. it was a great start to saturday.

Untitled

we took on the monster taco for lunch at tijuana flats for the day of outrageousness. greg and i definitely shared it.

Untitled

we headed down to legoland for brick or treat on saturday. it was so fun! more photos to come tomorrow.

Legoland Beach Retreat // April 2017

To end the month of April, we headed down to Legoland to check out the new Beach Retreat. We started the day at the Legoland water park before heading over to check in to our room. We drove over to the Beach Retreat and checked into right from our car with the drive-thru check in. It was super convenient.

Untitled

Our room was in Seagull’s Cove and we shared a bungalow with the Herolds. Each cove has its own playground that is visible from each room. The kids loved walking right out to play.

Untitled

Untitled

Untitled

Untitled

The rooms are super cute! Just like the Legoland Hotel, there is a small separate room with bunk beds for the kids. The kids didn’t go right to sleep by any means, but Greg and I sat on the porch after they finally went to bed. The set up of the room is just so much better than a standard hotel room and it really makes such a difference!

Untitled

Untitled

Untitled

After we got settled, we headed over to the pool for some swimming before dinner. There was also another larger playground and a bar right by the pool. Once we saw the set up, we knew we should have spent the afternoon at the resort instead of the water park. We definitely made a mental note for next time.

Untitled

After swimming, the kids played Legos at the bungalow until it was time for dinner. The restaurant was also right by the pool so we walked over to have dinner.

Untitled

Untitled

Untitled

The next morning, everyone was up early! We headed over for breakfast, which is included in your reservation, before heading back to Legoland.

Untitled

Untitled

Untitled

We spent a couple hours at the park riding roller coasters and rides. Since we all went to bed late and got up early, we headed out after lunchtime so the kids could nap the whole way home.

Untitled

Untitled

Untitled

Overall, we had such a great time with the Herolds. The Beach Retreat is so so cute and we will definitely be back!

Untitled

the weather was absolutely perfect this weekend.

Untitled

a walk and a bike ride on saturday afternoon.

Untitled

we headed out early this morning to go to legoland!

Untitled

it was the lego batman movie day at the park so there were some fun things to do. we built a (very) small part of the joker and got to see it complete before we left.

Untitled

as well as several of the small squares on the big mosaic. we had to pull crosby away from the table or he would have built the rest of little squares.

Untitled

they also go to meet lego batman! crosby holding his hand melts my heart, he loved it.

Untitled

hanging out it the dino while kenley rides the roller coaster.

Untitled

they had the ride to themselves.

Untitled

Untitled

after a morning of homework and meal prep, we headed outside before the storms rolled in.

when we got the bikes out, i asked kenley if she wanted to take her training wheels off. she ran inside to ask greg to take them off. after two tries, she was on her way! she did such a great job!

***

we had a good weekend! today was hit or miss due to some poor listening ears, but kenley is so excited about her training wheels coming off!
