LegoLand


Lyndon and I traveled to Grapevine to visit LegoLand on June 9th.  We were both amazed and Loved LegoLand.  Lyndon kept asking if we could please come back another day.

Waiting for the Professor to begin our tour.



Did you ever wonder how Legos are made?





Each child received a souvenir Lego brick.  After our factory tour we rode in cars which took us into a virtual video game.


A Lego motorcycle.

Millions of Legos!

Art on the way to the bathrooms made out of Legos.  Lyndon had to take these pictures.





Lyndon building his Lego car to race down the many ramps.




Riding the ride.  We peddled hard enough that we stayed at the top for the entire ride.




Building a Lego house to see if it withstands the earthquake you can simulate by turning the nob to make your board shake.

This truck was motorized and the mixer spins.


MiniLand was our favorite!  Everything is built out of Legos.   The lights turn off every few minutes and all of the buildings light up with fireworks displayed on the walls.  I think Lyndon wanted to live there!DFW

Lyndon being silly before our 4D movie.  Water splashed on us and it snowed on us-4 REAL!




We had a great time and Lyndon came home with a Lego set.  I had a wonderful time spending the day with you at LegoLand.  You are a lot of fun!  Love you around the world and back!

Lyndon Loved Basketball Camp

Lyndon had basketball camp right after football camp and he LOVED basketball camp!  I was shocked as usually Lyndon prefers football, but he worked very hard at basketball camp.  He thinks highly of the coach as he is his babysitter's son-in-law and I think he wanted to really do well for him as well.


Lyndon worked really hard at keeping his eyes on the goal and not the ball.  I know that must be very tricky for a kid his age, but he worked hard.




He listened to instructions.














I love the smile on his face-glad he was also having fun.

& I love the look of full concentration.









 There were a few fundamentals Lyndon struggled with and the coach did a great job of helping Lyndon so he would understand.  Lyndon would then come home and practice for the next day.

I think Lyndon might have a NEW favorite sport!
