So excited!

Morning present from little brother. 

Yeah! A pet! (Sea monkeys.) =)

From Gramps and Grandma. 

From Uncle "Shark" and Aunt Marilyn. In case you can't quite make out the picture ... These boys love Legos!!

More awesome Legos from Aunt Corrina and Uncle Maury. 

Staying up late building Legos!

Monitoring Sea Monkey progress ... Not much. I think it may be too chilly in this house. =/

The cake. The boys were SUPER excited to finally taste Coco Puffs!

Eating like dogs. =)

Legoland

Trying to catch you all up on our adventures. We'll start with Legoland. It was a perfect day. A little hot but not bad and the crowd was minimal so we never had to wait more than a few minutes for rides, even the big ones. The  only thing we didn't get to do was the water park portion.... Next time. 

The boys were super excited to see this sign!! So long awaited! =)


The Lego structures were impressive. 

Can you tell Jaxter didn't want to stop for a picture, he wanted to get to the next ride. 

There were huge structures everywhere!

This was a funny little show about fire safety. Acrobatics, singing, and slapstick humor went over very well with the boys. 




Another show - this one was pirates with water skiing stunts. 

Intently building. 


You got to design and race cars in one area. Boys really liked this. 

In addition to the big rides there were also several carnival type smaller rides that were fun. Fortunately the boys were taller for pretty much every ride. =)

Being silly at the end of the day with their souvenir bags. 

Check back soon (?) for Gatorland!
