LEGOLAND

We were finally able to celebrate Hope's and Andrew's birthdays! Andrew had a sight fever remaining on Sunday evening, so we spent the first evening at Downtown Disney in the air-conditioned Lego store. The store was a HUGE hit! The children would have stayed there all night if they could have!

Andrew: "I don't want a picture with him! He's too scary."

Hope: "Not too scary for me! Me got muscles!"

And then came the day to celebrate their birthdays at LEGOLAND. Andrew's fever had left him, his breathing from his pneumonia had returned to normal, and though he was still slightly "under the weather", we didn't have to worry about the sun, heat, and activity. It was enjoyable watching the children have fun!

Racing is serious business!

Little guy was not feeling too well, so he and I got to snuggle a lot:

Someone actually got a picture of all of us looking and smiling!

My riding buddy:

Cherish riding solo (once again) since the two little ones
had to be accompanied by an adult on most rides.
Though she wanted to be with us,
she was very gracious about riding solo.

Look at Hope's face!

A ride the two little ones couldn't go on,
so Cherish had me to herself!

We really had a fun day being together and taking an easy pace.

Bonus: We were able to get in on one of LEGOLAND's "Home School Days", so we saved about $350.00 as a family! What a great deal!
