Legoland/Finale

We made the decision last minute to head to Legoland and I am still debating on whether or not it was worth it. We decided in the end it was about the same price as a day at Lagoon and if I could have the Lego cities IN Lagoon, it might be the best of both worlds. Ty and Jade met us there (Mom, Dad, Britt and Garrisan went to Univeral) and we decided to spend the day- 10 to 5  PM there. We made it the entire day but mostly because the weather was nice it wasn't unbearable being outside. The kids seemed entertained enough but I am sure this is the one and only time we will be visiting. It rounded out our last full day in Cali.

We spent an hour on the freeway in traffic on the way home. Enzo fell dead asleep and then just randomly sits up and yells, "I don't want to go on this ride, dad!". Apparently he was dreaming about all the horrible, awful, fun we made him have at Disneyland. 

We finally got Enzo to loosen up on a ride. Mc was too tall to ride. 

KING-ston

The coolest and only part worthy of a visit (IMHO) is the city/world scapes made entirely out of legos. We spent more time there than we did in any other part of the park. There were little additions of Santas and reindeer for Christmas. The boys were absolutely enthralled (even Mark). There were moving pieces and replicas of almost anything you can think of- car, boats, buildings, Las Vegas, the Subway, a man on a toilet, babies, dirt bike races).

As we were leaving the park, we decided to stop and take a picture. We had the kids all lined up and noticed that Enzo was missing. We rushed back to the entrance to get back in and the worker wasn't too excited about letting us in (it was almost time to close). Bree booked it through without even asking and I finally did too. Enzo was in the Lego store (one of the biggest I have seen) and didn't even know he was lost. 

We came home with an entire suitcase full of Legos. Mr and Mrs Clause, Jack and Sally, a free Crimes of Grindlewald/Harry Potter set for spending so much money. Mickey, a turkey, a witch, a magnet, Kingston's Ant Man souvenir set, Mc's Gamora. So worth it. 

Lego Christmas Williamsons

By the end of the trip we were all ready to come home, have a little distance and our own beds. Spending a week going non-stop and then coming home smackdab to Thanksgiving isn't always smart but the weather in Cali for sure makes up for it. It seems like all the planning and preparing is over so quickly and here we are just a few short weeks from Christmas. It was a nice break from our jobs, our callings and laundry. It for sure was NOT a great break for Mc who came home with EIGHT pages of Math homework that had to be done before she went back. It was good to come home to a clean house, g ood to have the blessing of being able to travel, and good to make memories with our little family. Mark swears we aren't doing Disneyland in two years, so I guess we say Disney Cruise 2020!

Electronics always bring everyone together.
