Legoland


One of the first things we did once we were settle in our house was take the kids to Legoland.  We skipped a birthday party for Joshua so he got some money to spend while at the park.  We went for two days.  We hit the main park, Legoland, the first day and were there from open to close.  The boys really enjoyed themselves.   I would say their favorite ride was The Dragon roller coaster because at the end of the day there was no line and I think they ( the three big boys and daddy) went on it about 10 times!   The second day we spent mostly at the water park.  Daddy, Noah, and Andrew made a quick trip to Sealife park (also at Legoland) while Mom, Joshua, and Seth went to get things settled the water park.   We splurged for cabana at the water park which was pricey but worth it for our family size and for Seth.   We stayed at the water park until about 5pm and then finished out the day back in the main park.   Not many pictures of the water park since we don't have a waterproof camera.   I thought the mini land of Lego's was so awesome so I got many pictures of things there.    We had a great time and look forward to a return visit.

Bowling

While we were in San Jose waiting for Daddy to find us a house in Southern California we went bowling a lot.   We signed up for the kids club so the boys all got two free games each day plus discounts on food.  We really had a great time bowling.

Cousin's birthday party

We arrived in San Jose, CA just in time to celebrate cousin Kate's birthday.   She was having a waterside/ Harry Potter party.  Our three older boys loved the water slide and were on it the whole time.   Auntie Nicole served butter beer and there were Harry Potter themed cupcakes and candies.  It was a great birthday and we were so excited to be here for this one.
