Southern California 2013 - Part 4

Thursday we left early to drive the 70 miles south


to 

a place where almost everything in sight was made out of Legos.  It was very impressive.  
Shrek
They had several rides – mostly geared to young children.  We rode a couple of coasters, Kalel drove around a driving course and got a Lego driving license.   
He also rode a jousting horse around a medieval track.

 We had fun at the building stations building all kinds of creations out of Legos - I even got into the act and built a fire engine.



 Zane helped Kalel make a race car.  They raced the car and WON!
The Winning Car!


   Zane and Tasha were brave enough to ride a ride where robotic arms twisted, turned, and dumped them upside down about 30 feet in the air.

One of the most impressive things in LegoLand was the miniature display where hundreds of famous buildings and landmarks were recreated in miniature all out of Legos.  It was an incredible sight.  Zane, as an architectural engineer, was in heaven all day!

It is so hard to imagine how everything was made out of Legos!  It must take days and days and days of work to create the amazing structures!

After the long drive back, we hit the hot tub again to relax our weary legs and gear up for the next day at Disneyland!

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
