LegoLand

Sam's 5th Birthday was on 28th April. Anyway... to celebrate with Paul's family we all went to Legoland for the day on the Saturday before his birthday

. The weather was BEAUTIFUL.. and we had great fun.
It was just so 'SAM'! but we ALL had a lovely time.


Caitie was most fascinated by the Lego 'baby' ...
(and even more fascinated later in the day when she got a close look at a REAL baby in a pushchair, which she stroked gently :-) )





Lego London - Sam loved this





Caitie wanted to go on the bungee thing!!! .. but was too young, so she said that Daddy had to do it!!

watching Daddy with Granny, Grandad, Uncle Mark (paul's bro, in red), Tracy, Caleb and Reuben.. and Uncle Richard at the back

What Caitie thought of Daddy jumping and trying to turn somersaults!
After this I took Sam on 'SkyRider' - a VERY tame 'rollercoaster' that is up high... I was really surprised that he wanted to go on it knowhing his fear of heights but he really enjoyed it!
 

Into the water at DuploLand ... Sam LOVES water and I'd totally forgotten that this water bit existed (i've only been once before about 10 years ago) .. and so he just had to strip to his pants and run about... which he did for about an hour!!

We then had a picnic lunch - which we bought just before getting to Legoland... we had planned to go to a nearby Tesco, but didn't turn the Satnav on soon enough.. so we just went to a Costcutter about a mile from Legoland... the best Costcutter I've ever been in... INTERESTING sandwiches/pittas for about £1 .. and some nice cakes too. Fab stuff!!!

After lunch we went to the pirate bit where Caitie got a spraypaint Tattoo... of a Pink Pirate... she is VERY proud of it.
Sam was more impressed watching the Log Flume but the queues were too long to go on it - and Caitie was too little for everything.
But.. Sam and I DID do the Digger Challenge ... Sam is REALLY 'into' building sites after a recent school project so this was brilliant! I got a bit keen and I think I did most of it!!

In the evening we went to Harvester and had a nice dinner... and sang an early Happy Birthday to my Sam... just a simple cake because it needed to travel!!

A wonderful day.. and we'll go back when Caitie is a little bit taller ... over 90cm to be precise!!!
