Lego Land / Disneyland Surprise!

The kids already thought we were cool because we let them skip school to go on a "work trip" with Daddy to Idaho Falls. There we met up with cousin Keaton for lunch. Then we found some pre-Christmas gifts from Santa along with a letter, explaining what the t-shirts in those boxes meant a trip to California and we were leaving right then. What you didn't get to see is Carter's utter disappointment thinking the t-shirt is the only thing he was getting from Santa for this year and he had a good list going. On the way to the airport Leah asked if she could scream because she was sooo excited? We said sure and Carter declared, "I'm not screaming until we get to Lego Land, then I'll be happy!"

So Lego Land one day, Disneyland / California Adventures the next, and we hit the beach before flying home. It was quick and exhausting but we all loved it!
The laser light show was my favorite. It made me cry and was amazing. We did it all though, including me scratching the skin off of a poor girls knee on the Tower of Terror. Never again, I tell you, never again. :)
Even though it was cold, the kids had to get in the water for an hour before flying home to the dark days of winter.
