Hot in Legoland

Well, Dane is back in school, so now the challenge is always...what do I do with Ryan? Poor Ryan usually has to entertain himself while mommy does various chores and errands. Well, my goal this year is to be really mindful about doing fun things together and enjoying our time as much as possible. Thanks to my friend Julie, we were able to go to Legoland today! She stopped by to give us passes and it turned out to be such a fun morning. Even Alana had a good time!

We started out in the Sealife Aquarium (Ryan's favorite), then headed out to explore the "land." By about 11:15, I could see Ryan's face start to get red and he had that tired look about him. He kept on keeping on, but 11:45 was the cut off. We had so much fun, but the weather is HOT right now, especially for Carlsbad! It's about 90 degrees and really humid...kinda like Florida weather!

We got home and Ryan actually put himself down for a nap. For mothers and fathers of young ones, this is like the holy grail of naps. It's precious and rare and not to be taken for granted. Alana went down pretty easily, too. This is why I'm able to crank out a blog today! Woo hoo!

There are a few other miscellaneous pics from the past couple days. Enjoy and have a wonderful Labor Day weekend, y'all!

Picking Dane up after his first day as a 1st grader. He loves it!

Now THAT is a biker dude:)

Can you see our loud bird friend up in that tree? Looks like a crane, but we think it's an Osprey.

There's Bowser chewing on Blizzard's old bone. So funny!

Talk to the Spidey hand...

Legoland. Woo hoo!

Hi crab!

Hey.

I wanna EAT ya!

Alana was mesmerized by the huge tanks.

Ryan was NOT so sure about the shark tank...

Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh...

Hmmmm....

At this point Ryan was SURE he didn't have to pee.

A boy's delight!

Chewy!

At this point it was about 90 degree with no breeze. Whew!

"I sweaty mommy." Uh, yeah.

That is one tired camper. And that was just the FIRST half of the day...
