Happy Birthday to Alan!

Where would a grown man with 4 sons want to be on his birthday???

LEGOLAND OF COURSE!!!!!


We had the opportunity to get a HUGE discount on admission tickets to Legoland Florida by going with a group that we recently joined called Full Time Families . (This is a club for families who are on the road full time in their RV. We enjoyed meeting many of them in Orlando at a campfire get-together one night).  It just happened to be the same day as Alan's birthday! As a family full of boys who LOVE Legos, can I just say they were all just a little bit THRILLED?!?!?!  This park has several rides aimed for ages 2-12, so there was something for all the boys to enjoy.

Caleb and Joshua love the Duplo Playground where you could run, slide, and play with Legos of course!


Alan is such a good Daddy...he even rode the little trucks with the boys!!!:)


Caleb and Joshua loved this ride that went up and down...


and up and down...

and up and down! :) I just love their smiles!!

Legoland has a huge display of Legos in an area called "Mini Land".  There are seven different themes and more than 1.5 million Legos were used to put the models together!

The boys LOVED the Star War Legos! 

"Impressive...most impressive..."


 "Today will be a day long remembered..."



Doesn't this look like a real person in a costume? This Darth Maul is completely made of Legos! Amazing!





This New York Scene had a firetruck that would spray water when you pushed the display button. Watch out Micah!


Nathanael enjoyed getting sprayed by the cool water.  It was a HOT day!


The boys enjoyed seeing the Kennedy Space Center Lego display especially since we had just visited it recently.


Joshua and Caleb thought it was neat that the Lego display also included the playground area at Kennedy Space Center where they had played!


Some other famous places made of Legos...



All four boys had the chance to drive their own cars! It was so funny! Caleb was working toward being the fastest car on the track...


Joshua was very serious! He kept his eyes on the road and hands on the wheel!


There was an older area for Micah and Nathanael to drive their Lego cars.  It included a safety course, stop signs, traffic lights and road signs.



 This entire car is made of Legos!!! WOW!

 AMAZING!

Alan chose pizza and brownie cake for dinner.  The boys picked out a few movies and a Disney shirt for his birthday gifts.


Hilarious!:)


Happy Birthday to the most wonderful husband and Dad! I am honored to be your best friend and wife.   You make life fun, joyful and exciting. :) Thank you for all of the time, love, prayers, and service you give to our family and to others. You are a tremendous blessing to me and you are very loved!

Blessings to you and yours,

Jill and the boys:)

  2. Thank you Kim! We are good! The past few weeks have been a little rough though...combination of Gus passing away and lots of traveling, traffic, and preparing for the seminar last Saturday. We also have had some colds/stomach bugs going through the family...yuck:( We are healthy now! So thankful! you are sweet to ask! Hope you are doing well!
