lego land

legoland is not on my list of favorite places to go.  lines, keeping track of 4 little ones, some not tall enough to go on the rides.  its a day full of happiness and tears.

however, they begged and we went.  the smiles and excitement make it all worth it.

a few notes for next time...

...i have never been a fan of a child on a leash, but landon needs one.  he takes off running in every direction possible and we lost him once.  he squeezes his merry way through the crowd and i simply cannot catch him with all the others and a stroller.  he was on his way to the lost and found with a park employee when i came upon him.  i was terrified and he was happily telling stories. leash:)

... lily is the calmest baby i have ever traveled with.  she made it all day. smiling.  napping in small spurts where ever, when ever she could, even if for only 5 minutes before being awaken by someone or something.

... ice cream can cure any meltdown.

...luke is sporting a new thumbs up look and logan prefers to be serious in photos.

after a full legoland day, there is nothing like kids night at the local brewing pub.  good beer for mommy and daddy, free kids food, balloons made to order keeping them occupied.

(as a side note, these are not the best quality pictures.  most are taken from my iphone 3.  yes, its a bit old, has been dropped, made it through a few sandboxes and drinking fountains.  but the reality is that it is perfect when traveling with 4 little ones.  capturing some moments we can look back on.)

logan choose the snake becuz it can also be a water float. always thinking.
