Nathaniel Day 5 - Legoland

You can read about the idea behind Nathaniel Day and previous months activities here, here, and here.

July 6th landed on a Sunday so Dave was able to celebrate Nathaniel Day with us all day this month. Usually he misses out on the fun.

We had never been to Legoland before. I thought that Abby would like it and since I hadn't been there before I would have fun too. It is one of the places that we can get a pass for at the library so we could get one of us in free. It's a little expensive, but for Nathaniel Day I don't care about how much money we are spending. For me that is a big deal.

Lunch at IKEA

We headed down to Schaumburg after church. Since we were in the area we decided to make a short stop at IKEA. We braved the weekend crowds to pick up a new desk chair and eat some lunch at the store restaurant before heading down the street to our day of fun at Legoland.

Abby had so much fun at Legoland. She loved looking at mini Chicago, especially the fire trucks and construction equipment. We went on the "factory tour", built many many cars and raced them for hours, rode in a dragon car, and pushed lots and lots of buttons. We stayed there all afternoon and evening until we had to leave because they were closing.

Abby was not a fan of the jungle. We didn't spend much
time in there.

Since we stayed so late, we decided that we should probably eat something before going home. We found a restaurant (eating out twice in one day is definitely not normal for us), ate, and then we on our way home. Abby fell asleep pretty early in to our drive home. By the time we got home we were all tired and sore and ready for bed.

It was a long, fun day. I look forward to next month's fun activity. I don't know what that will be yet, but I have time.
