LeGoLaNd FlOrIdA

What?!  A class field trip to LEGOLAND?!  Who has the coolest teacher ever??  Aydin!!

Today we got up dark and early... the kids had to be on the bus at 6:30 to leave by 6:45 and start the long 3 and a half hour drive to Winter Park, FL.  After I dropped Aydin and Jimmie Frank off to the buses, I headed to Jim and Jennifer's to pick up Jim and Julianne and start driving.  We arrived at Legoland around 10am and had the rest of the day to do whatever we wanted.  

Mason, Ty, Aydin, Jimmie Frank, and Julianne

The boys, Joy and Julianne went straight to a roller coaster while I took Morgan and Liam to an play place.  Morgan is not the biggest fan of rides (you will see her face later in the post). 

He loved that they were his size...

We then ate some lunch and headed to the Lego City part of the park. 

Liam and Morgan.... Liam LOVED that drink.

Aydin and Mason

Jimmie, Ty and Julianne

Before the ride...

 The boys... headed out...

 The boys after their ride...

I made Morgan go on a ride... and she was not happy!!

 To make up for making her ride that last ride, everyone waited in the line to ride these boat things that spray everyone with water.  They loved it!!

 While the kids were all in line and riding, Liam was playing in the tree 

We then spilt again... Jim and Joy took Aydin, Mason and Julianne to the roller coaster where your feet dangle while I once again stayed behind to let Jimmie Frank, Morgan and Ty go to driving school. 

We meet up once again and headed to the final roller coaster of the day and then to see all the cities that were on display.  I let Aydin take these next set of pictures:

Aydin loved the boats, they actually were moving... 

Daytona 

Liam passed out after a long day of heat and running around...

Leaving the park... they got a few more pictures...

Happy St. Patty's Day and game 2 for Morgan...

HaPpY St. PaTrIcK's DaY!!

This morning was a crazy one.... I had to get up and get the kids some kind of fabulous green breakfast.... but did not plan nor did have time.... so they had to settle for green eggs, green muffins, and green fruit.  

 We had Trey and Trinity over for the night and had to be out of the house by 7:55 to head to Morgans game... She played so well and I was so proud of her!  They even won the game.

Morgan is in white... number 3

Right after the game, we rushed home and I headed to the airport to meet up with STEVE!!  Yep- he is back in DC for a week and a half so Susan (Steve's mom) was amazing enough to come down for a few days and watch the kids.  I will forever be grateful for her doing this for us!  It was a much needed break from everyday life...

Soccer season has begun!

Well- its official.... we will never have a break from sports.... that is until this summer when we move.  Aydin finished his basketball season on a Saturday and the following Monday soccer season started.  This year both kids are on great teams and are enjoying playing.  Tonight was their first game.  Unfortunately for me- their game was at the exact same time on opposite sides of the soccer fields.  This means that I could not stand int he middle and watch both kids play so I had to run back and forth... missing most of both games.  I was able to grab a few pictures.... 

Aydin's team won their first game 4-2.  From what I saw, he played a great game and had fun.  I am so glad he loves soccer!! 

Morgans game was fun to watch.  At this age they do not keep score and only play 4 v 4.  She had fun and cant wait for the game next week.
