Legoland Windsor

We managed to score a pretty great deal to Legoland. We got our hotel room, breakfast, and 4 tickets to the park for 50 GBP (or around $85). We later came to find out that the hotel had made a mistake with the rate. Those kind of things never happen to us so we were pretty grateful to dad for working the deal.


Grandma Elaine is always willing to jump on all the rides!


Liam with his customary head bruise


Zach LOVED cousin Liam


Thomas and Olivia had a good on the driving course. Spenser reported that they were some of the best out there even though they were driving on the 'wrong' side of the road!




Taking it all seriously




The kids had a fun time playing on the playground

Grandpa and Olivia


Hayley, Josh, and Liam


Zachie thought the ride was pretty fun


I was all set to ride the train with Olivia, but she wanted to ride 
up front and adults weren't able to do that


Mum and Dad


The kids enjoyed looking at all of the lego creations.


The London Eye


Wembley Stadium


Those who dared went on the rapids ride. Hayley was super sneaky and asked mum for her jacket telling her that she was cold. As we got on the ride it soon became apparent that she had stolen it in an attempt to stay dry!


I think that mum and I got the worst of it


It's hard to carry a baby when you're just little!


Riding the carousel

The men left about an hour or so before closing to head off and watch a Leicester Tigers rugby match, which was being played at nearby Twickernam. Sadly, the traffic was bad and so they didn't get there until almost half time, but Spenser loved his first rugby experience non the less.


While the men were gone we rushed around to get on a few more rides. Olivia had had her eye on the fire trucks all afternoon and grandma was game. They raced 3 other teams and had to put out the fire and then move the fire truck back. This poor boy got stuck with my lovely ladies!


They tried hard, but they were at the back of the pack!


Taking one last look at everything


No trip is complete without a trip to the gift shop

We had a fun and busy day together. We then piled into the car to make the 2 1/2 hour drive back home. I only had to pull over once for Hayley to be sick on the side of the road. We then met up with the boys at the motorway services and grabbed some food and traded cars so that Hayley and Josh could head on home. Poor mum and dad got stuck in the back with a suitcase on top of them because we were low of space. It is at times like that that I am grateful that I have to sit in the front so that I don't get car sick!
