Lego Land!

North of San Diego in Carlsbad lies every child's (and Lego loving adult's) dream...Lego Land!
We spent two very full days there taking in the displays, play areas, rides and shows. It really was quite something. Matthew really thought we should live in California and felt he and Bruce could get jobs as Lego land designers to support this ambition.

Emily really liked to take charge and do the driving. Of course it was almost impossible to get her out if another child was wanting a turn.

Here is Matthew doing time in the Lego City jail.

Matthew loved the freedom of driving his own vehicle and even got a Lego driver's license. He thought he'd try to save up his money to buy a Lego car for our house, or was thinking he could try to make one.
Here is our "train" as we make our way through the park. Pushing Emily in the stroller is a coveted task.

Here is the best water park we'd ever seen. You have to play "Where's Waldo" to see Matthew in the far left of the picture. The big bucket at the top of the pirate ship would fill with water and dump on all the children below. It was with such force we were surprised they were not knocked over!
The Lego building was beyond anything we'd seen before. Here we are in New York.

And here is a little look at New Orleans.

Andrew loved driving a Lego car too.

Well so did Emily, but hers was stationary.

Believe it or not they even made a Volvo out of Lego.

We took in almost all the rides. While Matthew was rushing for the roller coasters, Emily and I had fun on the mini train. This photo is also one of the only shreds of evidence that I was on the vacation as I am always on the other side of the camera.

The spinning Bionicles were enjoyed by Andrew and Bruce.
