Lego Land

M with the Lego Darth.
Who can resist Indiana?

A big dino!

I want them BOTH!

Outside of Lego Land California! We ended up going two days, they had a special buy one day and get the second one free--except parking. The first day was a zoo, but the second day we really didn't have wait to get on any of the rides, so it payed off. We also brought in food and drink on the second day saving a bunch of money.

Lego Climbing Adventures

M getting ready to climb the lego building.
Getting started...slow and easy.

At the top and ringing the bell, the boy to the left started first and was older then M...M is a natural climber.

He liked it so much he had to climb the palm trees too.

Up at the top once more and ringing the bell.

LegoLand Adventures

Diggin' for Dino bones.


N's first time playing in the sand

The boys giant castle that was taller then them...right before N knocked it over into a thousand pieces.

N riding a puppy.

N knocked down another little boys castle too...causing some tears.

N with a Lego camel.
J and M with a Lego Knight.

Lego Capital complete with a marching band.

On a Lego boat ride complete with Mt Rushmore.

Apparently this is how they clean the ears of the Presidents on Mt Rushmore.

A Day in Hollywood

We went to the Greystone Mansion Grounds. The Mansion was closed to the public for a murder mystery event.

The brick work was awesome

Koi pond with fish and turtles entertained the boys.

Overlooking the mansion.

One of the fountains. It also hosts weddings, which also was going on that day.

A Day in Hollywood...a really long day

M thought the Jack Sparrow look-a-like was pretty cool.
This impersonator was one of the best ones out that day...some of them to say the least were kinda sketchy and really didn't look like their character.

Marilyn Monroe wax figure and prints.

J would have liked to have taken in a show at The Comedy Store.

J with Johnny Depp prints

A Day in Hollywood....a continuation

Grauman Chinese Theatre with all the famous hand and foot prints.
The boys' favorite star.

The Hollywood sign taken on the scenic Mulholland Dr.

The boys thought all the geckos running around were fun.

Overlooking Universal Studios off of Mulholland Dr. The drop off was pretty scary, but the boys sat right at the edge anyway!

Disney Parade

Whenever you go to Disney you need to experience a parade. The kids enjoyed getting to see all the characters all in one spot.

N's view for the parade.

3 of my boys.

Monsters Inc ride, which broke the second time we went through, I was naughty and took a picture when they told me not to...but really the characters, ride props, and set up looks real even when the lights are on.
With Goofy.

With Lilo.

Outside our Hotel...Grand Californian...a really nice hotel!

J outside the gated entrance for the hotel. We enjoyed staying on the property. We had 3 heated pools to choose from, 2 water slides, 3 hot tubs, 2 restaurants, and our own entrance onto the California Adventure Park.

More of Our Spring Break

M and J jammed with the Toy Soldiers from Toy Story. They had their own little parade and had a pretty good rhythm.

One of the favorite movies for the boys is Toy Story...and they were thrilled to meet Woody and get a quick family photo with him.

The boys with Mr. Potato head. One of the newer rides...with no fast-pass, so get there early!

The boys with Mulan and Mushu.

With Pluto!
