LEGOLAND!!!

Today we surprised our girls with a trip to
Legoland!

I told the girls we were going somewhere,
and Sascha asked if it was "the mall?!?!"
I don't understand why that girl loves the mall so much.
So I told her yes, we were going to a far away mall
with every store you can imagine.

We loaded up our girls and made the 45 minute drive
to Carlsbad.
Hailey was in the way back, reading Harry Potter,
not at all paying attention to her surroundings.
Sascha and Rory are too young to read,
so we made it all the way to the gates of the park
with no one being the wiser.
John and I giggled the whole way in,
until finally Hailey looked up and said,
"Um, I think I know where we are."
Sascha: "We are at the big far away mall,
hey look that place has bricks on it like we have at home."
Me: "What are those bricks called?"
Sascha: "Blocks!"
John: "No, Leh...."
Sascha: "Legos!"
Me: "Do you think this might be Legoland?"
Sascha: "You tricked us!"
Me & John: "Surprise!"
Lots of laughter and squeals and we made our way in to the park.

It reminded me of when I was a wee lassie,
and my parents did the same thing with Disneyland.
I still remember being in the back of the car
reading The BabySitters Club,
and looking up as we pulled into the parking lot
with the big sign that said
DISNEYLAND.
Happy Memories.

We couldn't have asked for a better day.
The weather was cloudy and cool,
and the lines were short.
We walked the entire park.
There is not much for a pregnant lady to do
at Legoland, except soak in the joy of her children's faces
and eat some tasty Apple French Fries.
I did both.

I'm EXHAUSTED,
so no pictures right now -
but stay tuned!
I took lots.
