Legoland!

Karl Strauss was super close to the hotel and the kids loved it!!

 We spend this past weekend at Legoland and Legoland Waterpark celebrating the Petchenick boys 4th b-days! We stayed at the Sheraton which has a private entrance to the park which was so awesome! We ended up loving both parks and the kids of course were in heaven.  Lil' B stayed home with Nana...he was very sicky and probably wouldn't appreciate the long hours at the park.  We ended up coming home early on Sunday as he was feeling really bad and we missed him terribly! We'll definitely be back to SD before the end of the year to use our free tickets!!

Our private entrance dropped us into this awesome play area in Legoland!

Presto must've gone on this slide 10x!!

Weeee!!

And mommy had a little fun too:)

We got a cabana at the water park and had YUMMY cake for the boys b-day!

It was hard to keep Presto away for long

And of course Miss Phia just ate the frosting

YUM

Our cabana was right off this kiddie play area



Summer lovin'

Phia was just lounging...

A break in our cabana for lunch

Um this thing was INSANE!! Every minute, after the alarm sounded it exploded with water.    The first time it happened Preston yelled at Daddy "STOP SPLASHING WAAAAATTTTEEERRR!!!".  HA! He thought Daddy splashed him

Obsessed with the water gun!

After a long day...the kids loved listening to the pirate band made of legos

Labor day with The other Tees Family:)

Presto "helping" Uncle Frank

 We had Frank, Sarah, Emily, and Everett over for swim and pizza on Labor Day.  Grandma fixed the baptism gown(Bentley ripped it at his baptism) so Auntie Sarah delivered it and I finally got the shots I needed of Bentley in the gown...right before he proceeded to rip it again! That's what we get for waiting until he was 10 months old to baptize him!! Soooo thankfully Auntie Sarah was here to sew it again!! We had such a great time as always and were so sad that the weekend was coming to an end...

Auntie Sarah teaching Bear to walk...

Sooo proud of himself!

The kiddie table...

Daddy finally converted the bouncer to this crazy contraption so B can cruise around and enjoy it!

Auntie Sarah also delivered a giant box of books from Grandma and Grandpa...LOOK AT THE MESS! She saved the day though by sewing the gown!

Sasafras Tees

Labor Day weekend...Newport and more!

Ummmm THIS IS MUDDDDD...Parents of the year!! Wohoooo!!

17 years of friendship right here!!

On Sunday of Labor Day weekend we visited a very special guest! Miss Kelly Jacoby was in Newport so we couldn't pass up a chance to see her.  She is missed VERY VERY much and seeing her made it an even more perfect:) We spent the afternoon on their private beach catching up with 8 kids in tow!  

Preston was in heaven...just him and his shovel!

Something about this hose, the kids couldn't get enough!

Bentley loving the wading pool

Presto was in heaven

Labor Day weekend...Nonno's Fair!

 We made our annual trip to the Malibu Chili Cookoff(aka "Nonno's Fair") on Saturday of Labor Day weekend.  We decided to let the kiddies have their naps and headed out in the late afternoon which worked out perfect! The kids loved ice-cream courtesy of Nonno and loved riding the kiddie rides over and over and over(also courtesy of Nonno!!).  We are so proud of Nonno as he works so hard each year to make the event such a success and each year it becomes more successful!
