LegoLand

Summer continues to cruise along.  There were two highlights of the second-to-last week of the summer:   Legoland, and the county fair.

Aunt Martha came to visit and she brought little Lila with her.  The boys and I went down to Gram's to see them.  We all packed up and headed to Legoland for a fun afternoon.

There were two rides there and we rode them both.  Lots of fun!

But mostly, of course, we were there to see Legos. And the Lego folks did not disappoint. The centerpiece of the area was a room devoted to Atlanta. They had a mini-Atlanta city...

Complete with a lego Stone Mountain, a Lego capitol, and here you see a Lego Falcon's Stadium!

Let's not forget Turner Field!

The boys tried their hand at building Lego racecars.  That did not go so well since there really weren't enough pieces for all the kids piled around, all trying to build their own cars.

Sam developed a stomach ache and I took him back to Gram's early. But everyone else stayed tos ee the 4-D movie, which sounded very good.  Sam and I accidentally got to tour Buckhead on our way home, since we got lost.  We passed the Governor's Mansion, which we both oggled at, and we ended up stumbling upon a Starbuck's, which resulted in Frapps.  It seemed to perk Sam up a little, and the nap on Gram's couch afterwards helped, too.  After a big dinner, Sam was back to normal.

We had missed both Gram and Grandad's birthday this month because they were both in Virginia at the time.  So we had a belated celebration.  The boys put the candles in the cake and Gram blew them out.

It was fun to see Lila, and Marty joined us for dinner and afterwards took photos of all the kids.

Lila is coming back next year and bringing her whole family.  We can't wait!
