The Camp Pendelton Beach

On Monday of our three day get away we spent the day at the beach. While in southern California we stayed at Camp Pendelton, which is a Marine base. This base is huge!! It is also very pretty. They have a nice beach there. Also on the beach they have cabins that you can rent. William and I will checking out how much it is to rent those cabins cause it was wonderful! We got there fairly early on Monday morning and stayed until middle afternoon. The boys were so happy to be playing on the beach, in the sand and the water. Since this is the pacific ocean in April we did not spend much time playing in the ocean. It was real cold. We spent our last 20 minutes running from the waves before we left. They have a large section of the beach where its an animal sactuary and another section where Marines train. I wish we had spent more time at the beach since it was wonderful.

My boys playing in the surf.

James got knocked down by a wave. It was very funny. He obviously didn't run fast enough.

All the boys getting very brave. Poor William doesn't spend much time away from the office, which is obvious by his glaringly white body!

Filling their buckets with water so they can build a sand castle.

I love this picture of Lil'Will running in the water. He was so in heaven there.

They were going to build a sand castle, but found out they enjoy digging a hole much better. They dug three different holes and loved every minute of it.

James helping to dump sand into the hole. He didn't quite get the concept. Lol!

This is how they spent most of the day. James and William digging and Lil'Will running in the surf.

Legoland

A couple of weeks ago we went to Legoland for a few days. We decided that with William off of school for a week that he also needed a tiny spring break with the family. He missed the boys spring break, so he felt the need to celebrate his. We tried to plan a surprise trip, but Big Bobby broke down on Thursday and so for us to take the trip we needed to rent a car, which totally took away the surprise element. Anyways, we left Friday after school and spent all day Saturday and Sunday at Legoland. Legoland was perfect for our boys. They were able to ride all the rides. I think Legoland caps out around 12 years old, after that it is just a bit too little kid for them. What I loved most is that they had all these lego stations that you could use while one person waited in line, then when they came up to you, you would just rejoin them in line for a small wait. The boys loved playing in all the legos with the other kids. Sidenote: We upped our internet speed and so therefore the pictures upload super fast, so there are a lot more pictures in this post than older posts. Yay! For more internet speed!

We had the park hopper pass which included their sealife aquarium, it was small but nice. This is one awesome octopus.

James practicing for his Joust on his white horse. He had to have a white horse. He waited until one was available for him, such a funny dude!

Lil'Will's steed may not be white, but was just as trusty.

My boys on the Indiana Jones ride. They got to shoot at stuff with lasers! Super fun!
