the weekend recap

i'm referring to LAST weekend...not the weekend coming up. which just goes to show how on top of things i am.

but i'd first like to say that, at the moment, i'm listening to George Strait (okay, i know he's like, 'mom country'...but i LOVE him, he always puts me in a good mood), drinking a cup of coffee and just finished my egg white omelette with mushrooms, spinach and a pinch of cheese. this weekend will be somewhat hectic as i have all 3 kids until sunday after midnight (parents are on a weekend holiday with friends, how fun is THAT? they actually go on them about once every two months...). that's all to say that i'm enjoying this serene, peaceful moment right now cause it's surely not going to last once the kids come home this afternoon.

anyway - Legoland. so, anytime i go to a theme park, i get so EXCITED cause i love roller coasters, i love the feel of them...the food, the themed areas, all the people. but...Legoland was different. we arrived at the tiny airport in Billund, Denmark and drove (literally) 5 minutes to Hotel Legoland. Nikki and i checked into our Princess Room with Klara, who was practically spastic with excitement, and then spent the evening watching the kids while the parents all went to dinner at the hotel restaurant, which was the ONLY one in the area. no kidding.

saturday and sunday were spent at the park with the kids, and it was definitely fun for them, and them only. the park is designed for small children, so every roller coaster there could easily be ridden by 4 year olds and 70 year olds alike. but it's fun to just see the kids have fun - even if it means going on the Dragen roller coaster 8 times, and i'm not exaggerating - and like i've said before, my whole family really is fun to be around.

it's funny - my favorite part of these trips is the way we have coffee breaks every two hours! we would go on some rides with the kids, then us and the other family would meet back up, have a latte, the kids would get ice cream, and then a couple hours later, do it all over again. i don't know about you guys, but i DEFINITELY did not grow up actually eating the food at amusement parks. i was lucky to get a drink cause everything was so dang expensive!

oh, and biggest complaint about Europe? i'm so FREAKING sick of sausage, liverwurst and cheese being offered for breakfast everywhere. normally that's a meal i go to bed excited for the next day, but here, i've just not felt that same excitement.

here's my pictures from the weekend -













as you can see, lots of Lego action and fun ;) alright, i'm heading into town to pick up the wallet i lost at a bar a few weeks ago (classy) and buy my suuuper cute swimsuit!! i'll post some pictures soon, cause i also want to tell you all about my 'carrie underwood-inspired-outfit' i recently bought!! the rate i'm going, someone had better have put some money in that wallet of mine...
