I LOVED Legoland and so did the rest of the family. I would happily take the boys here again and again. They had great rides, the lines weren't too long and it was just a lot of fun.

You can't go to Legoland and not build something out of Legos.

This was a really fun ride. I couldn't take any pictures of us doing it in case my camera got wet, but here are some other people demonstrating how fun it is.

Again, all Legos...and this is only a very small section of Miniland.

Bionicles...if you don't know what they are, then you don't have a 6-10 year old boy.

The Atlantis is the boys' favorite ride of all times anywhere. They have it at the Sea World in San Antonio, too, so when they saw it here they about lost it. We rode it twice even though it was a little bit too chilly to be riding a ride that WILL get you wet.

See the "snow penguin"?

A cute show we watched with trained dogs, pigs, ducks and cats.

This day was a travel day. We missed our connecting and the connecting after that and the connecting after that. No worries. Liam did his crosswords and Colm colored while Sean figured out how to get us to San Diego. All the waiting and running from one place to another (after they told us the wrong gate in Phoenix) tuckered Colm out. He had a very nice nap on the plane though.

I found this in an article I was reading on another blog. It was part of an article written by Diane LeBlue.

There is an Arabian proverb that states: a friend is one to whom one can pour out all the contents of one’s heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keeping what is worth keeping, and, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

Isn't that just fantastic? We all need friends and family like that.

Auntie Claus is a cute book about Santa's family and how they get one of their own to understand the spirit of giving and receiving.

We spent this Christmas Eve with my family on my dad's side and then went to Sean's mom and dad's house to celebrate with that side of the family. A few pics...
