Yay, LegoLand! We've been excited to come here the entire trip!
First, we headed back to one of Katharine and Caroline's favorite areas - the water play spot.
Leah isn't quite tall enough, but she loved it anyway.
These musical instruments were great - as you stomped on the associated square, they would play music and squirt water.
Playing music
What a great band - Caroline, Katharine, Cameron and Leah
What cuties! They loved playing together.
At the race car track - anyone three and older could drive! Here is Caroline in her car.
Leah in her car, ready to go!
Cameron in his car. This was a bit to babyish for him but he went to help out the little girls.

Up they go!
Mama and Cameron's turn
We were in the police helicoptor
Overall, the rides at Legoland were definitely geared for a younger crew. Cameron enjoyed them but I think a few years older and he would have thought they were completely babyish. He wasn't tall enough to ride alone on most rides by himself so we took turns riding with the kids.
David rode with Caroline on the rides she wanted to go on; Katharine didn't ride on one single ride! She wanted to stay with me and help out with Aaron. Considering how often she visits Legoland, missing a few rides wasn't a big deal at all. It was very sweet and she was such a great helper!
Cam and Daddy on an airplane
Leah and Katharine keep Aaron amused
Mama and Leah's turn
What a cute little guy!

Some of the rides had Lego building areas to play in while you waited - can't beat that!
More Aaron cuteness
Leah and Mama in a boat. I let Leah drive most of the way, so we did a lot of bobbing back and forth between the siderails. She enjoyed it though! (And this is the most in the middle we ever got.)
David and Caroline are in the middle boat
Daddy and Cam's turn. Cameron was a much more steady driver.
Next up was one of Cameron's favorite parts of the entire day - Star Wars Legos!!
Without further adieu, a series of Cameron (and occasionally Leah) standing with every Star Wars Lego figure he could find.
Cam and R2-D2
Cam and Chewie
Cam with Han Solo
Cameron and Luke
Leah wanted a picture with Luke too
Cameron and an Ewok
Cam and Princess Leia
Of course, Leah wanted a picture with Leia
Cam and Darth Vader
Cam with Boba Fett
Cam and Yoda
Cam and a Clone general
Cam and Anakin
After all of the figures, there were a bunch of scenes of classic Star Wars moments.
Of course, Cam wanted pictures with each of them too.
Cam loves his Star Wars
Yep, every single scene.
He was so excited to see them all, even the ones that were from movies he hasn't seen yet.
Cool!
Checking out the Lego builders studio
They had so many amazing creations in there as well.
After Star Wars, we went to check out the Lego cities. First up was Washington, DC.
Leah and Caroline checking it out
Cameron near the Jefferson Memorial
The Lego capital was pretty awesome.
Trying to get a picture with the four older kids. This was the best we got.
And after the "nice" picture, it was time for a silly one!
This cracks me up - Leah and Caroline went from silly picture into full-on dance mode!
Lego New Orleans
Lego NYC
More of the City
Lego Vegas
Lego Luxor - Tim and I stayed there when we went to Vegas.
Smiley little guy
Just when you thought Star Wars was done... we found more! There was a special exhibit, a life-size X-wing fighter. It was amazing! Out front of the exhibit, a full-size Darth.
Cameron with the X-Wing fighter. He thought this was so cool, especially since he has this exact Lego set at home and had recently finished putting it together. A few more Legos in this one!
Leah found a friend
Leah and Katharine deciding on our next stop
We found a few rides that Cameron was tall enough to go on alone. He was excited. First up, an airplane ride.
And then a horse ride.
One snoozing kiddo...
Two snoozing kiddos....
Cameron stayed awake though, he was too excited to sleep after all of those great Legos.
Cameron, Mama, Aaron and Katharine in front of Legoland.
We went back to David's house to relax and play. They set up a bubble machine in the backyard which kept the kids busy for a while.
I love this picture of Cameron kicking the bubbles mid-air!
Katharine and her beloved Aaron. She was so excited to be able to hold him all by herself.
Another awesome day in California!
