FIELD TRIP AT LAST!!!!!

We attempted a field trip on Monday. After driving 30 minutes to get there, they said I had to have a coupon to get the discount. Even though, our name was written down to attend the 12:30 demonstration. So, we went home. Bummer!

Reservations have to be made two weeks in advance. The next time we would be able to go would be December. Unless, we could get in today (with one day notice). WE COULD! So, we went!

Thirty minutes of driving and we arrived at Legoland Discovery Center in Schaumburg. Upon entering the center, I thought I would get a "hug" from a friend.


These pictures aren't in any order, just enjoy them. Everything was made out of Legos. The first thing we saw was the Chicago Skyline. It was AMAZING!!!!!


Since Halloween is just around the corner, there were spiders, bats and skeletons on all the displays. Here are five friends doing the can-can.


Buckingham Fountain...


Elyse "loved" the spiders:


Always making faces...


When you stuck your head in the back of this lion, he roared. Scared the puddin' out of Elyse.


We got to meet Indiana Jones in person...


Free with our ticket, was a "Tall Tower Workshop." We learned to make a sure foundation or your tower wouldn't stand up to wind, storms or earthquakes.


Here is our tower on a machine that shakes like an earthquake. Do you think ours stood the test? Yep, we made it!


Salute!


We made cars and ran them on a track. Reminded me of AWANA Grand Prix...


There were two rides. Elyse & I rode on this one, while Zachary took pictures.


A little blurry - but proof Elyse rode the ride...


A famous friend:


A more scary friend:


We saw three 4D movies with such cute glasses...


The other ride was a smooth ride through tunnels with different lego displays. King & Queen...


Bats...


A cute bathroom sign. While taking this picture, an employee said, "I never saw anyone taking a picture of the bathroom doors. We just laughed and moved on...


Poor Geoffrey from Toys R Us got his head stuck...


When we got back home, we had an hour before the kids had to be at Youth Group. After dropping them off at church, I drove to Zion to meet up with Jane Shutske, her daughter, Christie, and Christie's two children.

Here is Nazaria Renee (1 1/2 yrs old).


And Xenniyah Michelle (3 months)...aren't they beauties?


I am exhausted, but it was a very good day! Hope yours was special too!
