Legoland California

 A couple weeks after Mark was born we went over to Adam and Sandy's to swim and have dinner. While we were there they told us that they had went to Legoland CA using a Homeschooling option and were able to get into the park a lot cheaper than paying full price. Since Ben LOVES Legos we decided to check into it and see about going. There are only certian days that you can go and only one day that would work in our schedule, the    Monday before Thanksgiving. We planned it and decided to go. We packed ourselves up, and headed to Caleb and Heather's to stay the night on Saturday and Sunday and the cousins had some fun playing together, as you can see, Uncle Caleb is somewhere underneath all five of the kids on that chair.   Then we went to Legoland on Monday. 

Ben and I went on the rides with Katelynn since she of course couldn't go on any of them by herself as she was too young. Katelynn didn't like having to wait to get into the park. 

Mark was along for the ride. He chilled mostly in the stroller. Another reason Ben wanted to check out Legoland was because he heard that there was a Star Wars display going on. Katelynn and Ben checked out the displays of Chewbacca and R2-D2. The Millennium Falcon was pretty huge.

Katelynn's Favorite ride of the day was a helicopter that went around in an oval and whipped you quickly around the turns. Let's just say during the ride there was squeals of delight and when we had to get off there were squeals of horror since she wanted to stay on the ride. Taking turns and waiting patiently for things isn't something she likes to do. Ben or I would wait in the line she and Mark were with one of us outside the line and then when it was her turn we would grab her to take her on the ride.

We stayed for about 3-4 hours and that was enough time for her and us. They did have their Christmas decorations up so we were able to get a picture in front of the Christmas Tree made of Legos. One thing we did wish they had was more things made out of Legos. There really wasn't too many things that were made out of them throughout the park. It was fun and I am glad that Ben had a good time too, theme parks aren't his favorite thing but he loves when Katelynn is happy and this did make her happy.
