So. Cal

The summer wouldn't be complete without a trip to So. Cal to visit our dear friends, Loc and Christina. It was HOT down there! I realized that as much as I like it when it's hot, I need a little break now and then.
We decided not to do the Disneyland thing again. It's sometimes just not worth waiting in the hot sun for a handful of rides during the summer. Instead, we spent a day at Legoland and the highlight of the day was watching John, Loc, Lauryn and Rachel try to put out the fire at the Firefighter attraction. Christina has it on video somewhere. I need to get a copy of that sometime.We also took the kids to The Spectrum for lunch and a train ride. The thing with LA is there seems to be a gigantic mall every few miles. Some are so big that you need to cross over a skywalk and over to another complex to get to some of the shops. That's just too much walking!


Sydney's favorite thing was just the swing in the backyard. Here's Josh being a gentleman and pushing Sydney on the swing.
