Early Celebration

 We had an unexpected fun day at Legoland!  It rained off and on throughout the day, but it did not keep us from having a great time.  We ended up having coupons to get all four kids in for free!  You just can't pass up that kind of fun day!  They had a section that was a water park and a section that was more of an amusement park.  I didn't think I would have a lot of fun at the water park side, but it was great.  The kids are all old enough now to do everything and it really made for a fun day!
 Benjamin was amazed at all the cool things (and HUGE things) that they could build out of Legos.  I have to admit the Legos were pretty impressive.

 I normally don't spurge for the gimmick pictures at the end of rides, but I just could not pass up the chance to get this one.  Lauren's face is priceless!  It was her first BIG roller coaster and she LOVED it!  It started to rain while we were on the ride and they shut it down just after us.  You can see how dark the sky had gotten....it poured!

 A few tropical birds...and Regan :)
 The camel and little Lego guy outside one of the indoor rides.
 It was good that they had some indoor things to do while it rained.  The kids all built their own race cars and then raced them.  Katherine built the fastest.
 Everyone standing in front of one of the many Lego displays.  It may look like we have already been to the water park, but not yet.  The kids were just trying to dry off from the rain :)
Too funny...had to include the chef with my two posers!
 These two can have fun anywhere and any time.  They are under a desk with some floaties on.  Earlier they had been putting the floats under their dresses to make the poof out.
 Well, only in the 21st century will you have a kid come to you and say, "Mommy, I hit my tooth with the iPad!"  and then you check to find that it is gone.  Yep!  Little Lauren has now lost her THIRD tooth at age 4.  She was so excited about it, too!
 Since Lauren and Benjamin's birthdays are around the corner, we also had a little celebration for them.
 Benjamin got the biggest piece of cake ever.  His eyes were much bigger than his appetite.  He got to the letter B and was already full :)
This one however, decided she did not want cake.  Ice cream? Nope. That is a bowl full of icing my friends.  She, too, had eyes bigger than her stomach...I'm sure her stomach is very thankful :)
