Where has the time gone?! How have my babies seriously turned 5 and are getting ready to start kindergarten...how do I rewind time?!
For the twins' birthday we were in San Diego at a beach house and we thought it would be fun to make a day all about them, and just them. They normally either get to go do things with all the kids, with Eli or they get left behind, but they have never gone with just us and not anyone else and since they are leaving me for school I wanted to make this a special day with just us and them.
We surprised them for one of their gifts to be a lego set and attached to the lego set was a ticket to go to Legoland! They were happy about it, but I don't think they really understood what was going to happen. The next day we got up and got the boys ready and said our goodbyes to Emma and Eli (who were spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa that day) and took them to Legoland for an entire day.
Here we are...5 years old and at Legoland!
The first thing we did when we got there was take them to the Sea Life Aquarium
I got bored in there and wanted to go ride some rides so I sped the process up as quickly as I could! Then we took off to ride the rides. The boys did so good there, we were so proud of them! They didn't complain one time about having to wait in lines, about having to walk the whole time (this is the first time they have gone to a park like this without a stroller), being hungry or anything - they were really grown up and we loved it!
45 minute wait for this lame roller coaster, but they thought it was awesome!
45 minute wait for this dumb bike thing and actually they said on their own that it was boring, ha ha!
They loved the firetruck and police car where we had to pump it to move and then put out a fire and race the other teams!
Lego Airplanes!
Popsicle break time!
This was the twins' favorite ride - and ours too! It was a super fast and scary roller coaster and they LOVED it - I think we rode it 4 times!
Potato sack slides!
Wave Rider
Lego Statues
It's not a very good picture, but I just loved sitting behind these two and watching the difference in their size and how cute they are...it's a blurry picture but probably one of my favs of the day!
We had such a great day with these kids! Spending the day for them was very special to us and very memorable! Our family would not be complete without them!
They crashed on the way home! They were very excited to get back to the beach house and see Emma and Eli!
5 Year Stats:
Tyler: height 43 inches and change (50%) and 44 pounds (75%)
Tyson: height 41 inches and change (25%) and 37 pounds (25%)
I told the boys there would be no shots this time because we did them all when they were 4. I was wrong - they needed a chicken pox booster. Tyler cried and cried in my arms before the lady even came in to give him one. Tyson was so brave and took it like a man, no tears, not even during the shot or after....Tyler, well I had to hold him in my arms and he screamed bloody murder before, after and during...as soon as the lady was done she got the heck out of there and I had to cover his mouth to get him to be quiet. Sweet Eli gave Tyler his nexxus to help him feel better...big baby!!
