Everett Children's Museum

Two weeks ago now it was Spring Break....yes, I know I am slow at updating the blog! Anyway, one day we went up to the Everett Children's Museum with some friends. Love this place....worth the drive!

San Diego - Legoland

I think the favorite park amongst the girls was Legoland, while mine was Sea World. But I guess rides and all do win out with a 4 and 2 year old :-). We had a great time at Legoland, but at the same time it was a bit frustrating. Granted Reese was free to get in (same goes for all the parks!!!) but she could not ride a lot of the rides and the wait for the rides were long. But having said all of this, it was still a great time and Reese still managed to have fun ;-). The geek in me really enjoyed looking at everything made out of Lego's, it was amazing as to what they could build and how well they made it look!

Lets get started!

Smiles all day long............

Sleeping Beauty (fairy tale ride)

Jack and the Beanstalk (fairy tale ride)

Squirting the animals

Julia was eaten by a lion!

Train ride

Julia and Reese in the caboose

This ride was pretty cool. You had to "pull" yourself up by the rope and then let go and you would drop to the bottom and do it all over again.

Julia got her drivers license.

Reese driving the firetruck.

Airplane ride

Airplane ride, really...she did have fun!

Save me!

Miniland.......Las Vegas

Miniland.........New York

Jim and Julia had fun squirting everyone and people on the ground could squirt them also. They came out very wet!

San Diego - Zoo

You can't go to San Diego without visiting the zoo, right? The zoo was huge! We walked so many miles at all of the places we went, but I think the most mileage was done at the zoo. I don't think that I mentioned earlier that Reese only wanted to be in the ergo. So I pretty much had her on me at every park we went to. I think with the crowds and the newness of everything she was ultra timid and felt best clung to me. I got my workout each day :-).

Me and my koala baby (I have been calling her this for years now, so she enjoyed seeing a koala in real life and she kept saying "Reese"). Koala's sleeping in the trees behind us.

Hippos. Kind of fuzzy as a lot of these pic's were taken from behind glass
