Legoland...2016 & 1978

When we went to Legoland for New Year's eve we bought one year passes. Veteran's day weekend provided a chance to go back and try the Legoland hotel. Staying right next to the park was convenient and the hotel was pretty much made for kids.

We watched a 3D Lego movie several times. 

We rode roller coasters and other rides.

I went through the old Stokstad family photo albums and found pictures from a trip to the original Legoland in Billund Denmark from July 1978. 

In this picture I'm about the same age as Liam is now. 

Halloween 2016

We had a wonderful Halloween. In the morning, Elsa's school had a breakfast and parade, and then her class had a Halloween party.

Liam's class did a parade to a local senior home for trick-or-treating and stories.

On Sunday, we did a family outing to a pumpkin patch.  It was raining, so the kids wore their ladybug and froggy rain gear!

Back at home we carved the pumpkins. Elsa created a pumpkin zombie and pumpkin cake. Liam helped clean out the pumpkins.

Earlier in the week, my work had a Halloween party.  Elsa wore her first version of the fairy mermaid outfit and Liam was a firefighter.

On the way home from school we stopped by the house with giant pumpkins that was giving out stuffed animal snakes.

Then it was home to switch into final outfits - Elsa put on her wings, and Liam his skeleton outfit and we went out and trick-or-treated.

Once we were home, Elsa sorted all the candy.  It was a fun night!
