Legoland California is a fun place to play with your family.

Welcome to Legoland California: Velkommen, Welkom, Bienvenue, Ahlan'wa sahla, ようこそ (yōkoso), 환영합니다 (hwangyong-hamnida), Bienvenido, Mabuhay, Shalom, Καλώς ορίσατε (Kalōs orisate) LEGO®.  It is a great place to bond with your family or friends. The visit will give you a  STEAM experience (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) that you will not soon forget. 


Legoland
Disclaimer: We are huge fans of LEGO®. We were invited as media to the theme park. All thoughts and opinions are all my own. 

Southern California is home to one of the most creative and exciting places for Lego fans.  Legoland is a theme park filled with hundreds of models, statues and wall art pieced together and made from Legos.  This 128-acre park is made for true Lego fans of all ages.  The park offers 60 family rides with "hands-on" opportunities to create and build Lego toys throughout. Check out Adventurer's Club, the Legoland Factory tour and Snow Days during this holiday season.  
Legos
Entering the park, you will find Lego models that will capture your eye. Some of them are super colorful, others have cute themes that will make you wonder and sparking your curiosity.  Adults, as well as kids, will point to works of Lego Art that can be seen when you enter the park.  All of the Lego models are very creative and awestruck because of the manual labor it took to bring them to life.  We pointed and chatted about them before we enjoyed the the first ride at the park.
In plain sight, there is a museum-like walking tour.  The Adventurer's Club is located right across from Snow Days activity area.  This is a gem of a place, the Adventurer's Club, cleverly displays the Amazon, Ancient Egypt, the Rain Forest all as LEGO® art.  The kid's eyes were big with surprise that anyone could build these art pieces.  This is a must see with your own two eyes.  
Snow Days are now happening at Legoland California.  When we visited, we saw happy parents and children playing in the snow.  A snowman hangs out waiting for parents and kids to play in the snow or take pictures with.  We just hugged him and wished him well while we through a few snowballs at one another.  What a great place to play with the family. 
We followed the Lego road to the roller coasters, the boat rides, food adventures and some games.  Our kids stopped at Legoland's Tree House, "Hideaway". They offer a play structure that is every kids dream come true.  It is multi-level structure with slide opportunities and much more.  Burned off a few calories there climbing, sliding and hiding from each other. 
Near the Knights' Smokehouse Barbeque restaurant, there is this cute game station.  This station is a game of chance that gives you an opportunity to win a plush unicorn.  "It's so fluffy!"  Well, of course, we had to play and win it!!! Buttercup, the unicorn, is doing well.  With the fun we had, it was so worth it. 
Don't forget the delicious food at Knights' Smokehouse Barbeque, located in the Castle Hill theme area of the park.  The food selection is delicious and smokey.  There are many items to choose from including slow cook roasted pulled pork, beef brisket, pork ribs and chicken. Other offerings are roasted corn, fresh brazed veggies, fruit salads, Texas chili, specialized kids meals, and desserts including brownies.  The restaurant is comparably priced to other outside BBQ restaurants.  The quantity of food provided was straight out of Texas and delicious.  For example, a standard plate at our local BBQ hotspot runs $24.99 per person however has enough food to share between two adults. For our family of 4 with drinks, we will spend $70 plus tip.  At Knights' Smokehouse, we ordered one Adult meal, 3 sides, 2 kids meals, dessert and drinks and only spent $83.  Still very reasonable comparatively speaking.  But your visit doesn't have to include BBQ because the park is host to many other food options like burgers and fries, hot dogs and more, all at very affordable prices.   
Our final destination was the Miniland USA Legoland. It is the most popular place to be in the park because of the 20 million Legos that reproduce (7) areas of the United States. The Lego models make you feel like a giant. It is unreal how a Lego can bring a city to life. Any Lego fan will be in great wonder because of the construction of the buildings, people and cities. 

We had such a great time riding the roller coasters, playing games, pretending to be giants in Miniland and eating good food. We highly recommend that you visit our sponsor Legoland California and make memories too. 

Merry Christmas,

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area.  This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement.  She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me.  Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test."  Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this:  ...

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday.  I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer.  The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard.  I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".

Field Trip to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Buena Park

My family and I were invited to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament for an afternoon of entertainment. I want to tell you about our journey into the Middle Ages via Medieval Times. It began at the will-call window with the kind clerk suggesting we visit their museum for a small fee. We said yes immediately to exploring their Middle Ages Museum called “The Museum of Torture”. It sounded interesting and educational to see Medieval exhibits. As we headed to the museum, a women dressed in traditional Middle Ages attire adorned all of us with blue crowns. We were assigned Don Alberto Del Mau as our Knight for the tournament. This meant we would have to cheer and support our Knight into battle. Don Alberto Del Mau is a young squire who is renowned as a champion of the defenseless.   Armed with this knowledge, we set out to visit the Museum of Torture.     Inside the museum, we realized that living in the Middle ages was a terrible time for all who crossed Royalty. ...
