Every year we go to St. George in October to watch my dad and usually some of my brothers run the marathon. This year we decided to go to California before since we would already be halfway there. We headed to the beach for day one, and although a little breezy, it was still a beautiful day for the beach. The waves were a bit large, but the boys loved playing in the water and sand. Baby was even excited by the waves, and thoroughly enjoyed getting wet and sandy.
Travis had fun burying kids in the sand.
Tyler making sand angels on his stomach down in the left hand corner. 😂
I didn't realize it until after the trip looking through my photos, but Sam was making a face in so many of them, ha ha! I guess we've reached that stage for him.
We surprised the boys by taking them to Legoland & staying in the Legoland hotel. We had just planned to go to the park for one day, but after hours at the beach we decided to go for a few hours that same day. The boys were so excited, especially when they heard there were rides. :)
There are some pretty incredible Lego creations there.
Sam loved the cars, and ended up with a handful of little drivers licenses.
This vehicle ride was actually quite tiring. You had to pump up and down to get it to the other side and back, and Sam was no help, ha! Also, Tyler really enjoyed the roller coaster.
The favorite rides were probably Ninjago and the submarine ride (that was definitely baby's favorite.) The park wasn't busy and we were able to walk right on to most of the rides which was so awesome. The boys had their fill by the end of the second day and were able to do all the rides they wanted to multiple times.
We got to meet Emmett there too!
Baby loved this Lego do and then threw a sad fit because it wasn't real...
The hotel was pretty neat. We opted for the pirate themed room and the boys got to do a little scavenger hunt for a little Lego prize each night. They also had their own room with bunk beds which was great for us.
Oh my, I just love them so much. Especially when they're happy.
The hotel also had an elevator with a disco ball and it played music every time the doors closed. The was Amelia's favorite thing every. She danced every time and I even had to drag her out of the elevator the last night cause she wanted to stay there and dance. She would start dancing on the way to the elevator, it was so cute. You can see some of it in the video google made for us below. :)
Lots and lots of driving. After 2 days in California we headed back to St. George to meet up with the family. The kids did pretty good in the car, except the last day, Tyler had some major tantrums, and then Sam finally had a whining streak. (I can't really complain though, cause Sam was GOLDEN the rest of the trip, and Tyler was pretty good too. We stayed at the park all day and they were both just so happy and fun.) Amelia even did really great.
Stopped at a new ice cream place in Beaver that my dad suggested.
Did the mayor's walk, swam, played with cousins and cheered on the marathoners in St. George.
Baby got sick our last night there, so we just packed up a little earlier in the morning and headed home. Thankfully she did good on the drive home.
