A very fun place

I thought we were going to Lego Land yesterday, but instead we ended up in San Francisco.









Las Vegas










New York










We even made a stop at the Hollywood Bowl










Mr. Beans got a chance to take a driving test and earn his driver's license.  This is a kid's driving course where they are supposed to obey the traffic signals and stay on the proper side of the road.  Mr. Beans did really good, some of the kids just drove aimlessly around.





Mr. Beans and pappy had to stop and take a rest...wait a minute, that's not pappy









There's pappy.  Grammy and pappy are starting to get a little worn down, but Mr. Beans said his feet and legs started hurting today also so we aren't feeling quite so old.  Maybe a day off tomorrow, especially since the rains have come back.







Mr. Beans got to program a robot at Mind Storm.  Thanks to his uncle we knew to sign up for this activity as soon as we arrived at the park.  It was fun for him to program his robot to complete certain tasks.  I just wish the teacher would have been a little less involved.






I think one little boy was in Lego Land heaven.  So far, it has been his favorite place.  I think when he grows up he's going to become a master builder for Lego Land.








The day ended with a beautiful sunset on the beach and for Mr. Beans, a quick run through the surf.

Minitown was my favorite part of Legoland. I posted some of the photos on the Myworld meme (with a little picnick.com treatment to make it kind of gauzy) and I think some of the folks thought that they were photos of New York City and such.
The rides were about my speed. The mindstorm was fun but like you say the teacher was involved heavily.
The surf was cold.
Looks like you guys are doing it right. Thanks for the post.

Skywatch Friday: A little close for comfort

Image
We had a fire out here on the eastern plains of Colorado last week.  I kept getting reports on the fire's location on my cell phone while I was at work.  Then a warning popped up that let me know it was time to hit the road and go home to prepare to evacuate the critters. When we initially got home it was still a decent distance away. Within 30 minutes it had come up over the ridge and flames were visible. The winds were gusting 45 to 50 mph.  It was a fast moving fire that burned 5,000 acres in only four hours.  Then the most amazing thing happened--the winds died down and the firefighters got in under control by 8:15 that night.  Thank you, Lord! Have you ever had to stand in your house and wonder what you should take out with you?  There were only two things I could think of...1) my critters and 2) my passport so I could still go to Europe next month.  Irv and I agreed that we need to get things organized so we can just grab a box...

Skywatch Friday: Upper and Lower Falls

Image
Yesterday I got to visit the recently completed Uncle Tom's Overlook along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. This is the first really good look I've ever had at the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River. These falls are almost as good as the Lower Falls. After leaving the Upper Falls you go downstream for a mile or so to.... ...Artist's Point which has the very best view of the Lower Falls (in my opinion).  In this location the view is perfect, so perfect that it look like a painting. This is just one of the features of this Park that make it my heart and soul.   Linking with Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday: Wild Horses!

Image
 The Salt River wild horses have been eluding us since we arrived in Arizona several weeks ago so today we went in search of them again. This time we started at the Coon Bluff Recreation Area.  First we went one way down the river, but soon had to turn back because we didn't bring any rock climbing gear. Then we turned around and went the other direction. The water in the river was crystal clear, but no sign of fish or horses. There are times when I really miss my dad especially when I want to know what kind of tree I'm looking at.  This one has something that resembles Spanish moss hanging down.  What is it? This riparian area that surrounds the river has all kinds of wildlife.  Today we saw theses white egrets. This gray heron was also hanging out in the distance. We met a guy carrying all kinds of photographic equipment and he said we needed to go about a quarter of a mile further down the river to find a spot where the horses cross every afternoon around 5:0...
