Cali Trip-Legoland

We decided to do a super fast trip to California-I don't know how we managed to do it with Bryce's work and Fire Academy schedule, but we did it!!! We wanted to do it for Elias mostly- a last trip before his baby brother arrives! We drove to Palm Springs and stayed with my bestie-Elyse for the night. Boy, was Elias in love!!!! He was acting so crazy and trying to show off...was pretty cute!!! He has been pretty aware of "pretty yadies" as he would say!



We apparentely got the 2 days mixed up in preparing for the weather...I have to say though, that the day we went to Legoland, the weather was really perfect. I LOVE OUR LITTLE FAMILY! Bryce had to do a lot of the legwork on this trip b/c I was 33 or 34 wks pregnant, so I was tired, ankles swelling and contracting! I couldn't believe how brave Elias was with the rides there! Bryce and him found a rollercoaster the last 20 mins before the park closed....they went on it 4x!!!! They would run out and run right back in-there was no lines at that one ride so that helped too! The picture up top with Bryce and Elias in the boat making funny faces makes me laugh- Elias has really been developing his personality! He puts his hands out, opens his eyes brightly and says, "What? Just do it....(whatever he wants us to do)"
I have noticed Elias is the HAPPIEST when we 3 are all together (which is pretty rare the last 6 months with bryce's schedule) but we do the best we can. And, I think Bryce has made it more of a priority to carve out time for Elias and I every couple days! Bryce is in school M-W from 5-10-usually getting home around 1030. And, then he is also gone all day Saturday. It has been tough but have gotten use to leaning on my Dad and trying to make lots of play dates. Elias and I have really bonded during this time too.











The morning after Elyse's, we headed to Oceanside. Bryce wanted to hit the beach. We rented this 4 seat bike...Bryce did most of the work-he even attempted to go up a steep hill but the fat cow I am at this point, Bryce had to get out and push that from the back!!!! WAs pretty funny! Was windy and chilly though, so Bryce decided to go with his gut and pass at jumping into the water.
I am really happy we made this trip-it's times like these that make memories forever.
