Lego Land Part 6…

When Jack was about this age we got a cartoon caricature of Jack so we had to get one for Stacy:

Stacy was having a fun time getting a picture drawn of her:

She was totally hamming it up:

Lego Land Part 5…

You would have thought Jack and I would have learned from Sea World NOT to ride the water rides at the end of the day when it is colder:

legoland58

Nope…we waited until the end of the day to ride the water rides:

Unlike Aya, Jack and I are way cooler looking when we are on the rides!!

Lego Land Part 4…

Jack had more fun at Lego Land than at Sea World.  Last time at Lego Land Jack had to ride on the ‘baby’ car ride.  This time around he got to go on the big kids car ride:

legoland14

You are suppose to follow the rules of the road and be on the correct side of the road but I am glad Jack didn’t listen and just drove as he pleased:

legoland10

This ride sucks!  The wait is so long and it isn’t even that fun, but Jack really wanted to ride it:

legoland24

Stacy and I were on the ride as well and luckily we passed by right as Aya and Jack were going down the log ride:

legoland25

Woo-hoo!!

Love Jack’s face:

Almost there….

Splash!!

Lego Land Part 2…

Stacy was much happier with the Lego man:

wk156_legoland20

Jack LOVES this fire fighter game.  You have to pump a lever to make the fire truck go.  Then you have to jump out and aim water at a ‘fire’ and pump the level to go back to start.  Jack hates losing and we won both times we played:

wk156_legoland21

Stacy enjoyed the rides but I don’t think she liked Lego Land as much as Sea World.  It was also day 2 without a nap and I think she wasn’t in as good a mood:

Lego Land Part 1…

We stayed the night in San Diego and the next day we continued Stacy’s birthday weekend by heading to Lego Land!

wk156_legoland2

Luckily it wasn’t too busy and we didn’t have to wait too long for the rides:

wk156_legoland10

Actually, we waited a long time for this pedal push ride:

wk156_legoland15

Stacy has a battery operated car at Grandpa’s house but she was TERRIBLE at driving the car at Lego Land.  She probably only drove 20 feet:

Sea World Part 6…

Just like his mom, Jack was eating his way thru Sea World:

Lunch was red velvet cake:

Cotton Candy:

Getting splashed:

Jack and I on the rapids and we got soaked!   That was a mistake…it was colder than it looked.

Sea World Part 5…

Aya and I really like the funnel cake at Sea World so we stopped to get some and guess who ended up eating most of it?? ? Yup the kids!!  They loved the strawberries, cream and funnel cake:

wk156_sea_world85

Then we rode Shamu:

At dinner Stacy drew a picture of me and Jack.  I have the bigger head:

Sadly, Jack draws about the same skill level as Stacy!

Sea World Part 4…

Since it was Stacy’s birthday weekend, Stacy could get anything she wanted…not that she knew that…but the sky is the limit for her, so we got her face painted:

The lady was really good and fast:
wk156_sea_world49
Almost done:
wk156_sea_world51
A butterfly!!

We couldn’t leave Jack out and he got a glittler tattoo of a t-rex:

Sea World Part 3…

The real FUN for Stacy started when the shows started!!  Stacy loves animals and when she saw Shamu she was in 7th heaven:
wk156_sea_world31
Stacy was cheering and just staring at the killer whales:
wk156_sea_world36
Shamu was great:
wk156_sea_world38
You would think Shamu would be Stacy’s favorite but they had this ‘pet’ show at Sea World.  Dogs, Cats, Pigs and Birds all did tricks.  Stacy LOVED it:
wk156_sea_world43
The Sea Lion show is still my favorite but there is a lot of talking and jokes in the show and not as much ‘action’ so Stacy didn’t like it as much:
wk156_sea_world64
They had a dolphin and trapeze show that was kinda ‘gay’ but it was princess themed, so Stacy loved it:
wk156_sea_world70
Stacy had so much fun watching the animals at Sea World.   It just amazes me because I absolutely HATE animals so to see someone so happy watching animals…it is freaky to me.

Sea World Part 2…

We got to Sea World earlier than expected, it was 90 minutes door to door, so with a few hours to spare before the first show we went on a few rides:

Stacy was having a lot of fun on the rides:
