Laughs and Lego....

And we are off...another weekend with Belinda and the boys.  George had been really ill this whole week so Saturday he just laid low. Rudi and I did some exploring in the garden and some serious swinging on the back yard swing.  I got a yoga session in and Belinda did some studying for her Royal Ballet courses while the kids rested.  Saturday evening one of Belinda's dearest friends from her days dancing in the Royal Ballet came over for dinner and a movie. She is a very lovely and elegant woman with one of the best laughs I have ever heard!  We had a girls night and watched Bridesmaids.  It was such a great and comfortable night.  I still can't believe how easily I have slipped into just living life with everyone here.
It's a good thing we rested up Saturday because sunday was a big day!  The family had been given Merlin Passes...yes they really are magic.  These passes get you into all sorts of theme parks in the area all year long.  Since George needs a bit of extra help he is allowed a carer pass so I am able to get in on the magic pass too...so cool!  We picked up the passes at one of the parks and decided to go in.

Some of you might be familiar with it.....Legoland!  I have never been to the one in Carlsbad which cracked me up...apparently I have to go thousands of miles away to go to something that is also in my backyard.
We all had a great time though.  There was a lot of car and boat driving which made Rudi's day.  George loved the water stuff.  We attempted a small hot air balloon ride which none of us were keen on.  Also the carousel was not a hit....Rudi and George were both a bit unsure and Belinda and I realized that we just can't do the around and around business anymore without wanting to puke.  Lesson learned....we aren't in our 20's anymore.  Weird how that stuff changes.

The day ended perfectly with a drive in a car and an ice cream cone.

I heart Ice Cream!

It was such a lovely day!!!  These 2 little boys have definitely stolen my heart!
