Legoland Birthday Celebration

It's a tradition now for us to do a trip or a big venture for the week of Alexander and my birthdays, so this year we took advantage of living in Vegas and headed to Legoland California!

I love sharing a birthday month with my big one!

The trip started with both boys not feeling the best, but they were full of smiles when they saw Legos everywhere, a whoopie cushion in the carpet outside of the elevator, and a bag of birthday surprises for Alexander.

We had a treasure chest in our room that we had to unlock with clues.  Each day it held a little Lego surprise for both boys.

 

At just barely two years old, Niko was tall enough to ride the jousting horses, but not old enough. You had to be four! This little one is tall!  He cried and cried while Alexander got to ride away along the winding trail without us.  Thankfully, the carousel satisfied our little man's need for 'neigh neigh' and without any lines, we rode that at least ten times!

Joy on the carousel

Safari car!

The Christmas theme was beautiful and so fun

 

Both boys were absolutely incredible the whole trip.  Niko took his naps where he could find them and neither got fussy over being tired or hungry.  I think the lack of lines for our next adventure helped a lot!

We went back to the room for us all to rest the second day.  After a while, Niko walked over to the grown up room.  I said, "Niko, everyone is still night night.  You need more sleep." He stared blankly at me for a minute, then put his head on the corner of the bed.  After a few seconds, he collapsed to the floor and proceeded to keep sleeping on the carpet.  We have a sleepwalker!  Like mother, like son....

 

Alexander and I both had a round where we were able to unseat Daniel as the victor of the Ninjago Ninja training.  Niko ended every round by saying, One more shoot.  One more shoot."

This is my favorite.  Alexander challenged himself not to scream on the roller coaster.

Challenge mastered!

Niko even got to ride a smaller coaster!

On the way home, after being serenaded with Happy Birthday for twenty minutes straight, both boys checked out. Can you spot a Niko?

We had such a fabulous time celebrating birthdays and family.  It makes turning another year older easy when I get to do it as part of the Martin Crew!
