Legoland rocks!!





Thanks to the awesome Homeschooler Discount we got to spend a day playing at Legoland which was Luc's greatest wish after missing out on the Reese and daddy day at Disneyland on his bday. It cost us $50 and the normal cost was about $150, so already I was in a good mood. Being almost 6 Luc got to drive a car in the big kid driving school, that was fun to watch. It was empty so we rode every ride several times without even getting off to get back in line, you just can't beat that. We are so spoiled always going to amusement parks mid week off season, that waiting in a 5 minute line seems like forever!
One of the real treats was waiting for us in miniland, they had a lego creation of the Obama Inauguration at the Capital Building, Reese loved seeing that. We watched the event just a few days prior at Judy and Sierra's house and the kids were really impressed with all of the emotion with seeing Obama sworn in. We saw a very cool 4D Lego movie and of course stayed until the park closed and we were all worn out.

Reese turns 9!!!






Before we headed back to Colorado, we spent a few days visiting Grandma Dorothy helping her pack to move to her beautiful new mobile home and also visiting Judy, Sierra & Canyon in Ventura. The downtown area of Ventura is so cute and we had a great time playing at the beach there watching the surfers and building forts out of giant sticks. Sierra invited Reese to attend her homeschoolers art class and he came home with some beautiful watercolors. When we arrived Sierra had made a cake for Reese to celebrate his 9th birthday, such a warm welcome and we can't wait to visit again. Our big adventure was a day trip to Ojai and a relaxing soak in the woodsy hotsprings.
My big score was picking as many tangerines as I could carry on one of our walks and I ate them for the next 2 weeks.
OH I miss picking fruit off a tree in the middle of winter.
