Legoland California-- day one

Patrick's first airplane ride!  Haha, he actually did great. This pic was when we were ready to get off the plane...

After we landed D and Jessica took us over  to get our rental car. Our next stop... In n Out Burgers... Yum!

Next stop... Legoland!!! 

Riding rides with D and Jessica. :)

There were Legos EVERYWHERE! The boys loved it!!

Checking out all the Star Wars Legos...

Cullen's favorite Star Wars Lego mini fig. 

Finn's favorite.. :)

It was pretty cool... A lot of the Legos would move and talk!

Finn wanted a pic of this Star Wars movie scene. 

A ride we did while D and Jess held Parch for us. :). It was fun

Sean and I had to pump the lever to race 3 other emergency vehicles (families). 

Then the boys hop out and spray the water at the robber inside the bank. We won... No surprise we're all competitive!

Meanwhile baby Carlos...



Outside our Legoland Hotel. 

Inside our hotel we met Pirate Brick Beard.  

Play yard inside the hotel. 

Cullen :)

Our hotel elevator rides were hilarious! It would play "elevator music" then after the doors closed a disco ball would light up and disco music would blare. The boys would dance everytime. So fun!

Our hotel room was awesome too. We choose the pirate theme over the castle or adventure (Indiana Jones) rooms. Here Jess and D are watching Patch scoot and crawl. 

Tired boys ready for bed after a long day traveling and playing in CA! Here is our bed. 

The boys watching tv in their room :)

The boys' tv. ( had a all lego all the time station). See the parrot and mouse? They are made of Legos. 


More hotel room decorations...

Playing with a box of Legos in our hotel room. :) they thought of everything!

Whew! This is just day one of our vacation! :)

4th of July

Baby's first 4th. 

Our firecrackers!

As always the boys loved shooting the fireworks!!


The fireworks didn't bother Patch at all!  Looks like he's going to fit right in with his big brothers! ....yikes....

Fishing fun with Papa and Uncle Bill

Fishing a catch and release pond at Voight's Farm. 

Finn caught a ton of Blue Gills. Probably 8 or so!

Finn did great at throwing them back. 

Cullen caught a few different fish. Here he is with a Bass. What a huge mouth!


Here they are with a big crappie Cullen caught. 

Cullen learning how to hook a worm. He did better than I would!

The boys had a great time fishing there! We barely had the lines in the water and they were already getting bites! Perfect for impatient little fishermen. 

Cullen and Papa go to Bear Camp

And they're off!

Their tent for the night. 

Walking tacos for lunch. 

Shooting a BB gun. Cullen was really looking forward to that!

He made this awesome toolbox!

Watching the Indians preform their dances. 



Archery is harder than it looks!

Cullen had fun at his first Cub Scout camp! Unfortunately he and papa didn't get much sleep due to a sudden arachnophobia. So sorry papa, Cullen is our city boy!! We thank you for taking him!

Patch is 6 months/ our last go around on KC

Patch loves to play his piano!

Patch loved his first time in a swing.  I love his smiles!

Science city at Union Station. Feeling what 78 mile winds feel like!


A favorite stop at Science City!

Building with blocks. 

Patch's first time at the pool.  :)
