I can't believe it's true, Colin is Two!



Last week we had Colin's 2nd birthday party down in Virginia. The only kids were Colin and his cousins, but he did not seem to mind at all. He really enjoyed all of the attention from both Grandparents. We planned a very busy day for Colin starting with the International Children's festival at Wolf Trap where we met a very tall lady, watched tap and Indian dancers, made some arts and crafts and almost petted a horse. After a very short nap, we opened presents went to the park and then had a nice party with dinner and cake. Colin is getting so big.

The next day Colin discovered yet another present, a train table set that was set up in the living room. Colin loves the new train set and it is compatible with everything he has already. We are definately going to have to finish the basement to have a place for his toys.

Legoland

Colin had a great time visiting Legoland in California, even though they were very conservative with their rides. There were almost no rides that Colin could go on even accompanied by a parents. In contrast, Dutch Wonderland left much more to the parents judgement which was the opposite extreme for the first ride Colin tried there. What makes Legoland a bit different is all of the amazing Lego structures all over the park. The first picture is part of Miniland with lego creations of many cities. Here is Colin and Keira outside of DC (appropriately enough). The gang is also pictured with a Lego tourist.
Keira's favorite ride was the Beetle Bounce shown at the bottom. She did not ride too many rides but that one she must have gone on 6 or 7 times.
More to come...

PS - Only 11 days until Colin is 2!
