Legoland!

September 8, 2016

Because you only turn 6 once…and because we’re a little bit crazy…we took the kids to Legoland last weekend to celebrate Maxwell’s birthday a little more! We planned this trip a few months ago, long before we knew Hurricane Hermine was going to hit Florida the day before we were supposed to go! But, other than a delayed plane flight out, we had no other problems and barely even any rain.

The crew was excited to fly out Friday afternoon…

and we were all excited to meet up with GJ and Daddo and get to the Legoland hotel Friday night! Everyone loved the disco elevator and the cool pirate Lego room. It only took the boys about 3 minutes to figure out the code to open the treasure chest!

The hotel really was neat and the kids had fun the next morning playing with all the Legos in the lobby…

and then we walked down the path to Legoland!

We started out in Miniland visiting all the cities made out of Legos…

and then we raced cars, drove boats, saw Lego friends, and road rides!

We also melted because it was SO HOT and SO HUMID.

There were a few little rain showers but nothing too long or bad. Our favorite ride was the Dragon roller coaster that both boys could go on. We did that one twice! By lunchtime we were hot, tired, and ready to go. We stopped off at the Lego store (of course) and then grabbed lunch before heading out. We conquered Legoland and had another adventure to go on…to the happiest place on earth!  🙂

Celebration

September 1, 2016

Well, it was good to be Maxwell on Tuesday! He turned SIX and celebrated big! The day started with a giant cinnamon roll six…

He then headed off to school with awesome Captain America cookies (NOT made by me!) for his class…

Meanwhile, back at home, the Bobbsey Twins thoroughly enjoyed the cinnamon rolls and birthday decorations!

After school I got to hear all about how he got to be KING that day! He’s been waiting his turn and what better day to be king than on his birthday!

That night, we went to Cocina Superior (Maxwell’s choice!) and Robert had them sing to him. I would not say he really liked that! Not sure he could have sunk any lower in his seat…

Spencer thought it was awesome though! ha!

We kept it pretty low-key but did celebrate with some sparklers and fireworks at home that night…

Spencer loved them – and almost caught his hair on fire! – while Maxwell was a bit more cautious. Not surprising at all.

This picture of them watching the cone explode kind of sums how they each felt about the fireworks!…

ha! Still, we all had fun in the steamy Florida weather…rainbows and all!

Hope you all had a happy 4th too!
