NHM and Legoland

One dreary day a few weeks ago we took the kids to the Natural History Museum at Balboa park. It was still a little too "old" for them but they still enjoyed looking at the dinosaur fossils and under microscopes. We also watched a short movie (similar to an IMAX) about life in the Sea of Cortez. It was quite interesting and the kids enjoyed watching the real life "Nemos". Here are a few pics:





And the Sunday before last we took the kids to Legoland. We all had a blast. There were virtually no lines, and the weather was mild (even a bit cool at times - but that kept the locals away!). The kids loved going on the rides. Jamie was just barely tall enough for all them and Abby was just barely tall enough for most of the littler rides. We took turns taking the kids on different rides and there were several that we went on as a whole family. In fact, I think it was the best family day we have ever had...it was so awesome to see the smiles on the kids' faces. In an attempt to not forget our lunch and extra clothes, we forgot our camera, so I ended up buying a cheesy one from legoland, I'll scan it in when we get home. In the meantime, here are some pictures of the kids playing with their new legos the next morning.
