Citizen of the Lego Empire

We visited Legoland California this week.

This was the most fun Zig has had in ages. He screamed the whole time on the roller coaster, but when the ride stopped he yelled "Let's get in line again!" Apparently he was screaming for joy. He says that was the best part of the day. And we did ride it again. I barely held on to my lunch. It was a two-hour drive each way, but well worth it. The last picture is Zig and a friend after a watermelon-eating contest.

Letters

Zig wrote me a letter yesterday!

He started on the lower line and then continued on the top line. It says: "You are fun with me"

Literally: "EooU R FUN WiTH ME"

The F is on the lower line, and the word "fun" continues on the top line. But I can read it! And he wrote it to me!!!

The drawing is him and me in a train.

Here he is enjoying a Richard Scarry book with his Dedo.

I had a blast listening to Zig try to translate all the untranslatable Richard Scarry cars so that his granddad would get the jokes - how does one say "Maybe our next car should be a bananamobile" or "Dingo dog knocked over all the parking meters" in Russian? Beats me, and it kind of beat Zig, too. This is where having his dad around would be nice.

The weather in LA is cooler than it was in July, but not by much.

Take care, all!
