Vacation-Day 3

We headed to Downtown Disney for a little shopping and some breakfast. We always have a meal at the Rainforest Cafe and we learned they now serve breakfast. Perfect!
They even sat us next to the gorilla. We thought it was great until Jack was freaking out to the point we could hardly get him to eat.
















Next stop, the Lego Store!! Jared is fanatical about Lego's and I am convinced he dreams about them. He informed me that the best job to ever have would be working as a Lego designer. He'd be great at it! He had saved all his money to spend there and didn't once think about spending it anywhere else. Nick on the other hand had only $25.00 left by the time we got there. I am surprised he was able to get something at that price. Here are a few pics from their out of body experience:























After finishing with our shopping, we went to visit my Granny in Riverside. We planned a concert for her, but she wasn't up to leaving her room. I think they over did her medication, she could hardly stay awake. Olivia hid behind a door and Jack was upset we interrupted his nap. We kept our visit short but was able to squeeze in a mini concert from Jared and his saxophone. Nick shared his fishing pictures and most recent baseball trophy. Sorry no pictures. I was really focused on Granny time.

So, after wrapping up with Granny, we headed to the beach to spend the afternoon and play. But most importantly, I wanted to update photos of my little ones. So many faves to choose from! Here are a few that have been edited:


























I have a picture of all four of them , but I am saving it for my blog makeover so stay tuned!
I think Jack had the most fun at the beach. Who wouldn't love eating rocks/sand and getting wet and dirty? He was in constant motion which made it hard to get pics. The big boys would get upset when I would ask them to pose for me. That was not their bag this time. Now Olivia was more than willing to let me. Train'em young I tell ya! She was the perfect model!
The weather was just divine and I am so ready to return to this location!! If I win the lotto, purchasing some beach front property is first on my list!

So that was our jam packed, fun-filled, exhausting vacation. I wish we were able to do this more often!

Love the pictures of Jared in front of the Lego wall, and showing the few chest hairs! :) Too cute. Can't wait to see your blog make-over. I am off to bed. Crazy hubby wants to leave by 4:00 am. AARGGHH!

We are very jealous - Rainforest cafe and lego stores are our favourite places when we are in the USA

More amazing pics! I can't wait to get beach pics of my kiddos in October ... I've always wanted some :) Do you have the Lego Digital Designer software? It's a free download and you can build lego designs on your computer and then upload them to Lego.com and I believe you can even order the pieces needed to make your creation!! Haven't looked that far into it buy my girls are Lego crazy right now and are having a blast with the virtual legos, too! Here's the link : Lego Digital Designer (hope I did that right ;)
