Copter and Boat Ride

Throughout the Legoland Adventure Park it was easy to spot primary colors. There were so many fun rides to go on and we especially enjoyed the 'helicopter' and 'pirate ship' immensely. My photo sharing is for two wonderful memes, Blue Monday and Mandarin Orange Monday.

Usborne offers 1001 Pirate Things to Spot, a hardcover activities book. It's written by Rob Lloyd Jones, along with Teri Gower's illustrations.

You'll find children's pirate music on iTunes and I must say, I think my grandson looks fabulous and could easily fit in with a crew of swashbuckling buccaneers! What do you think?

Since I've been blogging for awhile, it always amazes me what post of mine, whether it be on my book review sites or piano blogs, which ones get the most page views. If you'd like to see more information on Pirates that has over 5,000 page views, visit International Talk Like A Pirate Day

Pirates are very popular on the west coast with children. How is it where you are?

Dino Island

My husband and I decided to treat our 5 year old grandson (and ourselves) to a trip to Carlsbad, California at Legoland... Wow, what an amusement park!! Have you been there? Well, we pretty much spent the entire day visiting the different 'land themes' and going on most of the rides. Yes, it's tons of fun and a dream come true for Ryan graduating from Preschool and heading to Kindergarten this Fall. One thing for sure, it's very pricey. I'm not sure how young families can afford it, but if you plan for it and save your money all year long, the park has great rewards for summer fun and family memories.

My photos are for Blue Monday and since I took a whole bunch of pictures, I'd like to share some with you over the next few weeks... and if you're looking for some dinosaur books, here's a few in our library that we enjoy reading together.

Notice the dinosaur over Ryan's shoulder?!

For  Mandarin Orange Monday, I used an orange texture and color boost to the same above cropped photo with some editing for this meme.

Thinking of you and wishing all of you a Happy 4th of July!

Blessings,
