Cory and I took the kids to Legoland a couple weeks ago. It started out as a little family trip to celebrate Christopher turning 8 (more on that later), but we ended up have all the Garretts (with the exception of Lori and the little boys) join us.
I love San Diego and their weather, special in the middle of our awful Arizona summer. We left Friday morning and drove straight to the beach. There we met up with the rest of the family. The kids got to go boogie boarding and played on the sand. Kate and Christopher are very much like me and don't enjoy the beach much. Clarissa and Drew could have stayed all day, specially since their cousin were there.
We checked in the hotel that evening and I had dinner duty for the first night. Kady had dinner for the second night.
On Saturday we got up, had a nice breakfast at the hotel and left for Legoland. I got separated from Cory and the big kids right away. Cissa wanted to spend some time at the Lego friends land. We did the carousel, played their kiddy playground and watched their show. Kate really enjoyed this part.
Legoland was actually hard with Kate. She got diagnosed with an ear infection Thursday night before we left on our trip. She had a high fever and sore throat throughout the whole time so she was miserable and didn't want to take her meds. On top of being sick she was way too short to go on the rides so there was very little she could do.
Karen spent most of the afternoon with me and the girls and she went on several ride with Clarissa. At one point she bought us a churro with chocolate sauce, that was the best churro I have ever had!! I will forever dream of it.
Later in the afternoon I met up with Cory and we went into the water park. I got the first laugh out of Kate when she finally was able to go down a water slide with me. Clarissa really enjoyed everything she did.
We spent the rest of the evening together and Cory took Kate so I could go on rides with the older children. It was great to spend the last couple hours with them and see their happiness and excitement. It made the trip all worth it.
On Sunday we got dressed for church, had breakfast, checked out of our hotel and went to sacrament meeting. It was nice to get back home after such a fun filled weekend. I was pooped and slept most of ride back. Cory is a trooper for always driving.
