Legoland
On August 19th we went to Legoland. Oliver was in heaven! I have never seen him more excited. When we got to Duplo Town he couldn't even pick something to play with. He was so excited he just kept running from thing to thing. It was hysterical!!
Lucky Nic got to spend his 30th birthday here. We joked in miniature town that Nic got to go to Vegas and New York for his birthday. ;) What a great husband I have though, to spend his 30th birthday with his family at Legoland. I'm sure it wasn't at the top of his list, but he still had a fun day.
The bummer about Legoland was that they have a lot of similar rides to Disneyland, but with much stricter height requirements. That meant that Hudson could only go on a handfull of rides. He still enjoyed the rides he could go on, watching Oliver on rides and playing with all the Legos (especially the Lego cars). We had a blast watching Oliver enjoy the day. It is always fun to experience things through the eyes of a child and Oliver was having the time of his life. We also had a lot of fun at The Fireman Show. I got to bring back my fireman dance and I even tried to teach Hudson how to do it. ;)
We spent the afternoon at the water park and that was a huge hit with both boys!! To end the day, we got fried apples and my mom, Justin, Sabrina, Nic and I snuck in a ride on one of the roller coasters.
The biggest disappointment of the day was that someone stole my sunglasses off our stroller. Other than that though, we had an awesome day!!

Sea World
On August 18th we went to Sea World. We had such a fun day! We went on the Manta Roller Coaster first, then went through the ray exhibit and even touched a few. Hudson loved watching them swim around, but kept getting scared when it came time to actually touch them.
We saw the seals then watched the dolphin show. We met up with Aunt Susannah, Will, Sam and Nayara at the Dog show. Then Sheri, Chuck and Carlie met up with us at the Shamu show.
After the show, we went to the Arctic exhibit to see the polar bears, beluga whales, and a hilarious walrus. (Carlie has a really cute video that I'll have to try to get from her)
Then we enjoyed the penguin exhibit. We also went through the turtle exhibit and shark encounter.
We watched the Sea lion and Sea otter show and ended the day at the dolphin area.
Hudson seemed to be mesmerized by each aquarium and loved watching the animals underwater. He definitely liked the exhibits better than the shows, and I think he really had a fun day.

San Diego Zoo
On August 17th, we went to the San Diego Zoo. Susan's rash was still bothering her so she stayed home to rest.
We had such a fun day. Hudson and Oliver really enjoyed looking at all the animals, in fact, we all did.
We started the day off by going on the tram. Even though the lines were much shorter than at the end of the day, it was still a long wait and we didn't really see much. I think on future visits we will definitely skip the tram ride. Next we took the sky thing while Nic and Justin pushed the strollers through the park. We saw so many wonderful animals: polar bears, an arctic fox, reindeer, a jaguar eating, a lion sleeping, zebras, elephants, giraffes, a rhino, flamingos, hippos, monkeys, gorillas, macaques, a mandrill, orangutans, a tiger, bears, koalas, camels, meerkats, hyenas and so much more.
My dad especially loved it and didn't want to leave until we had done everything. He insisted we take Hudson on the Skyfari, to see the reptiles and to the petting zoo before we left. It was a long, hot day, but Hud was such a trooper. He napped in his stroller and was in the best mood all day. We arrived at opening and stayed until about 6pm. The only thing we missed, were the pandas. We blew it and didn't go there first and by the end of the day it was over an hour long line. Oh well, it gives us an excuse to come back. :)
I think the ball the rhino was playing with was Hud's favorite thing of the day. He also liked the giraffes, petting the goats, the skyfari, the crocodile, the hippos and the monkeys. Most of all though, he enjoyed getting so much attention from his family.

The Other Happiest Place on Earth, Islands, and a Rash
On August 15th we took the boys to Toys R Us. Hudson was in heaven! He went from toy to toy excitedly pointing. I kept thinking who needs Disneyland when I can just bring Hudson to Toys R Us for a few hours to play. (btw, I'm that mom who let her kid run around Toys R Us barefoot! Eeek! I did not anticipate us staying so long or Hudson getting so excited and demanding to run around)
After Toys R Us, we went to the mall to play for a bit, then met Nic and went to Islands for dinner.
On August 16th, I took Susan to Urgent Care because she got bit by something that caused an allergic reaction. She had large, hot, itchy red welts all over her body. Even though Susan was really uncomfortable, she still found humor in the situation. I'm sure looking back we will all be able to laugh over it.
