Day 3...the 4th of July

Since we started planning this trip, we decided we were going to do Legoland instead of Disneyland, because it was much cooler in Carlsbad than in Anaheim in July, plus tickets to Legoland were cheaper. I was able to get a ticket for Kaden off Craigslist, and I got a B1G1 free coupon off ebay so we were going to be able to go for pretty cheap. It was a 2 hour drive from where we were and while driving Cathy called and said her friend was in Carlsbad, and was trying to get rid of their tickets to Legoland because they decided not to go. We were able to meet up with them and she sold us her 2nd day for super cheap. When it was all said and done we were able to take a family of 5 to legoland, eat, and buy suveniers for $80!!! Awesome!

Our family minus the camera man. We needed our jackets most of the day, it was chilly!

Zoey decided not to nap in the car so she was not having the stroller. Good thing we brought this!

Kade before the first Roller Coaster....Joel wasted no time and took him on the car roller coaster first!

The boys and I waisted no time and took on the pirate ships

Kaden kept trying to spray Joel

I was so suprised Gavin went on this big slide...he is much more reserved than Kaden but he wanted to go on just about everything!

Joel got Gavin onto the Dragon Coaster by fibbing a little on his height...he may have been on his tippy toes when they measured him! He LOVED it...I totally thought he was going to freak out, but nope:)

Kaden wasn't tall enough to go on his own, and there were only 2 people allowed per car, so this nice lady said she would sit with Kade so he could go at the same time as Gavin!

Zo FINALLY fell asleep while the big boys were riding the Dragon.

Kaden liked these cars, but told me they weren't fast enough.

Gavin didn't mind the speed, but he thought they were bumper cars..oops :)

Our Crazy Lion

Zo Zo woke up and had fun being toted around by daddy.

Kaden: "Mom this train is made out of Legos!"

your a sharp one buddy!

After dinner we had some time to kill before the fireworks started so we went to Sealife Aquarium. Those are some big jaws!

Kaden compared just about everything he saw to something in Finding Nemo

Hey, how'd they get in there?

Time for fireworks...some light up swords were in order!

Watching the fireworks show. It was pretty short, but perfect because we had been there all day and we were pretty wiped out!

The kids had a blast, see:

All three kids asleep before we left the parking lot!

Joel was a little tired too!

It was a great 4th!!!
