1/18/21 – 1st Trip to LegoLand!

You woke up this morning around 7am. You climbed into bed with Daddy & when I came in after yoga you popped up and asked me to come snuggle with you guys in bed. You showered with Daddy & when you go out, I dried you off. I told you to go pick out your outfit so we are late to LegoLand. You said, “Ohhhhh I forgot! I thought I had school today!!!” You squealed with excitement when you realized that we were in for such a fun day. You got dressed, we packed up the car and went to pick up Chrissy and Olivia. On the way, you told me “I love my family so much! I love you Mommy!” I thanked you for filling my bucket.

We stopped for breakfast on the way out of town.

We jumped back in the car to head to LegoLand. You and Olivia snacked the whole way there even though we stopped for breakfast. You LOVED the park so much!!!! It was the perfect size for us and not overwhelming. You loved all the rides and even though today was the MLK holiday it wasn’t super busy. You loved pushing Olivia in the stroller and it was adorable how you kept putting your arms around her on the smaller rides.

When we got toward the back of the park, we found the bigger rides so we split up. You wanted to ride Coastersaurus, the big wooden coaster. When we got in the car you were excited. Then we took off and you were “screaming” in a good way. Then all of a sudden you got a little scared. Then back to loving it! You were saying “My stomach does not like this. I’m never going on this again!” Then I asked do you want to do it again? “You said Yes!” This was classic!!!!! After the coaster we went back to the driving school so you could drive the cars and get your drivers license. You were over the moon about the license and kept insisting that now you need a real car. I advised you to talk with Daddy about that! We headed back up front because the park closed. When Olivia saw us she ran to you with open arms screaming “Giovanna!!!!” We packed up the car and headed to grab dinner.

When the waitress came she asked what you would like to have. You replied, “I would like chicken wings please.” She asked, how would you like them prepared? You replied, “I like them roasted on the grill please!” She lost it and couldn’t believe how funny that was…The whole restaurant was dying lol!

We ordered a sampler appetizer and some pizza to share as well. When the pizza came, you said “Mom, I’m in for that pizza!” You were on a roll today and just about everything you said was hilarious. You started chatting with the couple sitting next to us. You even showed him Olivia’s books and were “teaching” him what was in it!

We were talking about your drivers license and how you now want a “real car” so I asked what kind of car you want. You said “I want a yellow tundra truck with rainbow tires!” I told you that you will have to talk to Daddy about that!

You and Olivia sang songs and chatted for a good bit of the drive home. You fell asleep around Tampa and she kept on going! When we got home, Daddy carried you in and laid you in your bed. I got your pants changed and snuggled you for a few minutes. You were snoring in 30 seconds. That was one amazing day! I’m so glad we went.

I love you so much!
