Welcome to Legoland, where we make everything out of Legos!



The Safari Trek ride was our first of the day. It was cute.




*hugs Thomas*


Tries to break Spongebob's nose off. I kid.


RAWR






I'm thinking I might hang this up in my office (I work at the Fire Training Academy).


Zander hugged all the Lego people.


Doug got fresh with a few of them.




Zander rode this ride 3 times, he loved it!




They have this mini-world where they make everything out of Legos. This is NY.


Vegas!

The mini Treasure Island had explosions and stuff!


This guy was cool looking.


Zander loves Bob.


and Thomas.


He battled the Dark Side.

a week ago - Ocean Beach picture post


Zan in the car

We tried to go to Legoland first, but when we got there we were told it was closed due to the rain. So we drove about 35 minutes back South and had lunch. By the time we got to our room and changed our clothes it was sunny. So our plans to be at the beach on Monday were switched but it turned out to be a good thing.




Why is it so hard to get a good picture of me and my kid?


Sand Castle


Totally wet. We played in the water for a while, it was so fun.


Zander wrote his name without any prompting.


He then wrote "Dad". And after that wrote Kyra, Anna and Guatam - kids in his class, lol.


The best part of sand castles - crashing them!


He got cold.

Monday Morning

We tried to go to the pier Sunday night but it was closed. It was still closed in the morning due to these intense waves. SO it ended up working out because the beach wouldn't have been a good idea on Monday.


Newsworthy waves. All the news crews were filming in the morning. We even watched one live interview on the beach from our balcony and on TV, it was kinda neat!


Not happy with the sun in his eyes.


There, that's better!


Strong but choppy waves, no one was surfing.


Yeah, he's huge.


While we were at the cliffs/tidepools the waves were huge. This guy got totally soaked so we stayed in as much as possible.




Zander took this one.


I like this one.


On our balcony, awesome beach view!




Attempt at a self pic.

There is more on my flickr. :-)

Dan Zane's concert!

I was SO excited to take Zander to the Dan Zan's concert. It was great!
We had third row seats.




We danced, clapped and sang at the top of our lungs!

After the show Zander got his CD signed by members of the band.

The guitar player, Sylvia.

The drummer, Colin.

I would have bought Zander a t-shirt, but they were sold out by the end of the show (well, except the pink ones). Zander saw all the other kids getting their shirts signed and he wanted his signed. So Dan Zane's signed his Thomas shirt.


Dan Zanes!

After we were done getting our cd signed Zander proclaimed he had the most fun ever and he wants to go back to Dan Zanes every day!
