Legoland! And Christmas! California Part Two

This guy totally rocked….er, rolled.

Oliver is not big on change. In fact, there are still rides we have never tried at Legoland. Two because there’s the possibility of having water squirted on you. He finally gave in and tried them this year. He loved them! He didn’t get wet at all….because his mother is ENORMOUS and apparently shadowed out all the water spray. I was soaked. The good part of this was that the camera stayed with Sweet Peter on dry land, and miracles of miracles, he used it!

Legoland continues to expand and we found the new slide in adventure land. I’m not sure who designed this “ride”, but apparently they have a sick sense of humor. Giant plastic slide. Nylon-ish bags. Have any of you seen the GIGANTIC Van De Graaff generator at the Museum of Science? That’s got NOTHING on this thing. My rear-end was sparkled the entire way down. It was painful. The poor guy on the end got down to the bottom and had a spark jump from the wall a foot and a half over to his elbow. I think it smoked afterwards. YIKES! Oliver did go down the slide again so that he could experience it with Peter. Peter swears that jeans were more protective against the sparkles than my cords were. All the same, 2 for Oliver and one for each of us was enough. It was one of the few rides at Legoland that didn’t have much of a line. Go figure. It did produce really cute pictures of my family. I’m not biased or anything.

The previous picture is one of my favorites, as is the next. I cannot get enough pictures of the amount of fun my child has at Legoland…

Christmas was totally wonderful. My Aunt’s friend Charlotte (who’s just like family!) was able to join us this year for Christmas. The day was absolutely perfect. We opened presents, played with Legos all day, had a wonderful dinner together and dreamed of sugarplums the entire week. Okay, not sugarplums. Satsuma Tangerines. A million times better.

    Hooray! More great photos. And although the photos you take are always my favorites, major props to Peter for taking the adorably sweet photo of you and your little man. Totally precious, and I am sorry to tell you (since you didn’t actually take it), my favorite photo of the day! :)
