Legoland...this time with Grandma!

We took advantage of our Legoland tickets from our time with Oma & Opa being good for another visit within 90 days to go again with Grandma when she visited.  It was a weekday which definitely helped with the crowds.  Ethan and Daddy finally got to go on the Splash Battle ride which had an hour-long wait the last visit.  There was no waiting this time around which was at least in part to it being later in the day and almost winter.  Ethan was not too happy once we started getting wet.  Thank goodness I happened to be on the side where a big explosion went off and soaked my shorts.

Coin Rolling Sweatshop


Our change jar in the kitchen (a glass skull-shaped mug from Treasure Island in Las Vegas) was overflowing so I enlisted the kids' help in rolling it up.  I enjoyed the help and when we were finished, we had $72!  Score!
