Staycation Event: LEGOLAND

As part of our summer staycation, there have been a lot of home-based activities. 

A lot of them are fully 100% your ideas!

After playing with the beans...

...and creating magical flutes and sheaths and scabbards and daggers and other mystical tools and weaponry from cardboard and aluminum foil (foy-allll)...

...we headed out of the house to...

LEGOLAND!

There were long lines, and building challenges ahead; a long-ish drive and hot hot heat.

BUT we learned a lot, had a blast, and a splash, overcame some fears (Julia was scared of the troll-based ride) and overcame some frustrations (after many times of losing the 'race' and having your car crash and burn, Aidan, you created a SUPER car and WON!).

And I guess that's what Lego is all about...taking something small and building it into a more awesome structure.

So we took our staycation, and built and built on it and had a great time together!
