Last week was our spring break and my sister, Leslie, and her kiddos were supposed to come up to visit us for the week. Unfortunately, her kids got sick right before they were supposed to come so they had to stay home. Cue disappointment all around. So when my sis texted later in the week that if her kids were better she was taking them to Legoland on Friday and would we want to drive down and join... I was all in! Phil was able to take leave at the last minute and we surprised the boys on Thursday right before we drove to Ocala. They were so excited!! Both to be going to Legoland and to be going to Grandy and Popeye's for the weekend. :) Here are some pics from our day at the park...
The other boy in these pics is my sister's foster son who has been with them for almost a year. He is the absolute sweetest little boy. My boys love him.
Intently watching the video for the Ford Driving School. I think they were nervous to drive at first until they realized that the cars went slower than the little red jeep we used to have. And the actual driving time was super short. I thought it was a tad lame, but the boys seemed to like it.
Reid and Olivia had to go on a smaller track...
Then on to the boating school... This was more fun. I rode with Reid and Olivia and tried to let them drive the boat until at one point we were turned around in the opposite direction. Lol. So I took over for a bit to straighten us out.
After lunch J and E and Phil and I went on the boys' first rollercoaster! I was really proud of them for going... I kind of thought they might chicken out at the last minute but they didn't!
Selfies right before we took off!
Whoa. I hadn't been on a roller coaster in a loooooonng time and I tell you... that one big drop at the beginning almost did me in. I was done with coasters after that. So was J... he said the drop made him queasy, too! Emmett and Phil went on another coaster later, though.
This was the boys' favorite ride... the Lego Chima ride. It stormed for a bit in the middle of the day (we were so lucky that Phil noticed the movie theater as we were looking for a place to take cover... The 20 minute Lego movie short was about to start and we were one of the first ones in there so we got good seats... and then by the time the movie was over, so was the storm! It was perfect.) and the Chima ride shut down for a bit for lightning in the area. So after the movie we walked over there and waited by the entrance for a few minutes until it opened back up. Then the boys were able to ride it three times without waiting in a long line! It was great! They were soaked by the end but had so much fun.
Here they are running to get in line again... I love the happiness on their faces...
This was in the Star Wars section of Miniland, where they had a bunch of Star Wars battle scenes and characters made out of Legos. As you can imagine, the boys LOVED it!
We had such a fun day!! We stayed from about 10-5 and then went to Chili's for dinner. Everyone zonked out on the ride home (eventually). :) It was a great day with family and we were so thankful for it! Oh, and if you were wondering... Davis spent a day in Davis-Heaven (aka at his favorite place in the world, Grandy and Popeye's house) with undivided attention all day from G and P. His favorite part was driving the tractor while my dad mowed the field. :)
