First trip to Legoland

Bella's first train ride.  She had her own seat and everything! 

It was really amazing what they made with Lego pieces.  Here's hubby posing as a Hawaiian cowboy...I think.

Family photo before we left the park.  Bella was pretty out of it by the time we left.

Here's Bella with Daniel and Jenny.  I love this picture with Bella putting a huge piece of melon in her mouth.  Daniel and Jenny look darn cute too taking a break from their snack to pose.

My cousin, his children and my hubby before their roller coaster ride.

Here's Bella on top of a toddler sized slide.  I think she wanted to come down face first. 

My cousin whom I haven't seen in 10 years came to visit with his wife and kids.  It was nice to finally meet his family and have them meet my family too.  We all went to Legoland together and we all had a good time. I was excited for Bella to experience new stimuli but I think she'd enjoy the park more in few more years.  We left the park earlier than our cousins and came home by 7pm but Bella had a really hard time falling asleep and that night she woke up at 11:30pm and she did not go back to sleep until about 3am!  I guess the park was just too much of a stimuli for her??? She's never done that before and I was so dead tired the next day and so was she.  She took a long nap the next day and went to bed super early.  I am so happy that Bella is growing up and is more responsive.  It is so fun to watch her dance and play.  It really brings a smile to my face and lifts me up every time.  It's also nice that she can communicate to me what she needs.   It's really amazing to realize how much she can understand.  I really love this stage more than any other stage in her life so far.
