The Patterson Girls: Legoland

Ok, so this was one of the first pictures taken of the day, on the first ride of the day. This charming gentleman was getting ready to start the ride when he spotted me getting my camera out. He said pictures can be taken after the ride. Then he called me maam. Well, Mr. Ride Operator, my nephew was so incredibly animated before the ride even started that I had to get out my camera. I didn't tell him that, but instead, I snapped a picture of Mr. Ride Operator and then smugly put my camera on my lap. I blindly took pictures of baby Connor the whole ride which created the most adorable and memorable pictures of the whole day and the man in the picture above had no idea I was so stealth....

Connor clapping before the ride started.

Julia, with her knees smashed, loved the ride too.

Favorite picture of the day.

I was completely blown away by the miniature cities built by legos.

Vegas was my favorite, of course.

Time Square, in legos.

It was cold but the kids didn't care about going on rides and getting soaked.

The girls said this reminded them of grandpa and

they wanted their picture taken with it, I mean him.

Driving a car without a track was a dream come true for Liam.

This was way more advanced and modern than Autopia at Disneyland.

Those eyes.

Please notice how much hair Lauren has.

This is seriously no joke. Emilie is "bearing down" on the big roller coaster drop. This is real. Her daughter, on the other hand, has her hands in the air loving every minute. Oh, and she is 7.

I made Liam practice that he was four years old when the ride operators asked him. You had to be four to go on some of the rides and well, he's almost four. (Good mom or bad mom?) Being four got you on the same ride that Emilie was terrified on (see above). Liam loved the ride, but the big drop, seen in the picture here, made him a little nervous and his hair fly straight up. Notice how I'm protecting my son as if my arm is going to do anything if that thing flies of the track with us on it.
