LEGOLAND!

I've been meaning to post about our trip to LEGOLAND for the past two weeks but tonight seems to be the first night I've had time to sit down for longer than 5 minutes.

Trey and Wyatt come to visit us the last weekend of February. I took off work that Friday and we all headed to LEGOLAND. It's about 1.5 hours south of us, just north of San Diego. We told Wyatt we were going to the beach...we wanted it to be a big surprise! The drive wasn't too bad but he was definitely ready to be "at the beach"! As we pulled into the park, we drove by the water park section first. He looked out the window and caught a glimpse of a lego water slide. He said, "Was that legos? I think that was legos. It looked like legos. Where are we? Are we at legoland?" As you can see there were a ton of questions! It was so funny! Once we pulled into the park, he said, "I knew it, I knew we were at LEGOLAND!"

It was a little chilly that morning, but it turned out to be a beautiful day! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was so much fun! We all rode a ton of rides, ate extremely overpriced food and had a lot of laughs!! Carson even enjoyed himself. There was so much going on to keep his attention! He finally pooped out for about an hour nap but afterwards, he was ready to go again!

Here are some pictures:

Now for the roller coaster pictures. Yes, Wyatt rode two roller coasters and loved it!

I'm not sure who's having more fun....me or Wyatt!

This was such a fun ride, you ride through a building and shoot targets. As you can see, Greg and Trey had a great time w/ this one!

Only one word comes to mind when looking at this picture. Idiots! And, I'm only talking about Greg and Trey! They were posing as they shot down the big drop on the roller coaster. Poor Wyatt looks like death, but he took it like a man. Greg's hair looks like it's flowing behind him, and well Trey, it looks like he needs to make a trip to the restroom!

We had such a great time the entire weekend. We had a cookout one night and made lemonade on Saturday afternoon with lemons from the lemon tree in our backyard! Here are some pics!

The rain will not stop the Hodges boys from cooking out!

Wyatt had so much fun picking lemons! He helped me cut and squeeze the lemons for awhile, but it didn't take too long before Aunt Bonney was juicing the lemons on her own. :)  Wyatt was not a big fan of homemade lemonade...it's too sour! I told him because it's not pumped full of sugar like the kind he gets from the store. He just giggled! :)

There are far too many funny stories to share about the weekend. We are so happy they were able to make the trip and happy that Trey actually survived the plane ride! :)  We love you guys, thanks for coming out to see us! It means to world to us!
