Legoland and Build-A-Bear


What a fun, fun day with the kids! Paul had the day off for the 4th of July holiday and we decided to surprise the kids with a trip into Schaumburg to go to the Legoland Discovery Center and then lunch at Rainforest Cafe. After further discussion Thursday night, we decided that Paul would take the boys to Legoland and I would take the girls to Build-a-Bear at Woodfield and then we would meet for lunch at Rainforest Cafe. It can be very pricey to get into Legoland, but we discovered a great deal--it was Pirate weekend at Legoland! If your child dressed up like a pirate they got in for FREE! Woo Hoo! We did not have pirate garb on hand so Taylor drew a pirate shirt for Nicholas and we colored her eye patch black, put a bandana on his head and he was good to go!

Aron has no idea where he's at but enjoys watching all the people

Hard to decide which Nicholas thought was cooler...
Batman or.....

Here we are at Build-A-Bear. Addison is standing in front of the machine with all the stuffing for the bears and when she first saw it she said, "I want a snow cone mom!"

Addison was so proud of her bear, "Sally". She picked everything out all by herself--right down to the

UNDERWEAR!


The girl's have their bears and are ready to do a little shopping before we meet Dad and the boys at Rainforest Cafe.





Aron liked watching all the fish. That was better than eating lunch--surprise, surprise!

The kids are sitting on the edge of the water where the crocodile was; which is why you don't see Aron in the picture. I was afraid he'd end up in the water if I tried to get him in the picture. Maybe another time!
