How did this happen? Well, each year since Grant was born we have visited friends in Munds Park, AZ to attend the town parade and enjoy in the cooler weather. Since the town is surrounded by forest preserve, they do not set off fireworks.
Our mission this year was to take Grant to THE BEST fireworks show in the nation, The Big Bang in San Diego, CA in the bay, then tours on an aircraft carrier followed by a two day trip to Legoland to reward Grant for being such an awesome kid.
Grant really enjoyed pretending to be a pilot and even earned his flight credentials by answering every question about the ship correctly.
It was great having my dad there for a full three generations of fireworks fun as well.
The best part of the trip, at least for Grant, was Legoland. The resort does such a great job providing entertainment for kids while parents can sit and catch their breath. Even the rooms, elevators, and restaurant are designed to continue the Lego experience. Grant even walked away with new Lego sets from the park to work on during the (long) car ride home.
