• PHOTOBLOG: When Things Come Together...

  As homeschoolers, my wife and I belong to the South Bay Faith Academy. It's an association that assists Evangelical Christian homeschooling families as they nurture, disciple and educate their children from a Biblical worldview.  In addition to helping manage academic records and providing legal covering for homeschooling families, it also offers standardized testing, prayer support and the occasional discounted field trips to local attractions.

  This month, several families from SBFA were able to obtain tickets to Legoland this past Thursday, our family among them. And so, we set out on our first visit to the magical land of connecting blocks.

  

  When we got there, we had to stop and take pictures with the Lego Family just outside the entrance to the park.

  

  

  After entering the park, we first stumbled upon Miniland. Which, as you might guess, is an area full of Lego-crafted miniatures of famous places.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  Of course, we just had a blast being together. These kids are just so much fun to be around!

  

  

  

  

  One of the things I liked most about the park is that they definitely planned it with families and small children in mind. At many of the attractions, there was a play area for the kids that was adjacent to the line. This allowed the small children to play with Legos in a safe, enclosed area in full view of the parents who were waiting in line. And as you neared the front of the line, there was a gate through which the children could exit the play area and join you in line. To me, this was brilliant!

  

   

  And of course, there were plenty of rides to keep everyone's attention.

  

  

  

  

  All in all, it was an absolutely wonderful day.
