Meeting Dora and Diego

Since Grandma Ruth was here and we were looking for something fun and out of the ordinary to do, we drove down to the MOA. Anyone who knows Quinn knows she's a big Dora fan. The MOA amusement park is Nickelodeon themed, and guess who makes an appearance every weekend? Oh yeah. THE Dora and Diego.Dora and Diego and Legoland ... talk about heaven for a threesome of Lessinger kids.

Noah wasn't really into Dora and Diego. But he was rewarded for his patience at Legoland. The little two ... just check out the photos to see how they felt about Dora and Diego.

Waiting (and peeking around the corner from the line to check out the action)



Quinn met Dora ...



Even with all the noise at the MOA park, I could hear her little voice yell, "BACKPACK!"



This was the biggest surprise. Actually, it was a surprise that he would even go inside the "rail" that surrounded the characters and get close to either of them. And at first, he didn't. Quinn and Bob met the duo first. When they came out of the greeting area, G said he wanted to see Dora and Diego. So back in line they went.



And a hug? No way!


As they were leaving the greeting area, G actually turned around, ran back to Dora, and hugged her. I had my camera turned off already and missed the photo. But talk about a surprise!

I'm a bit obsessed with trying to improve my photos right now. The poor kids ... nothing but mom acting like paparazzi, chasing them with a camera. Noah has wisely chosen to hide but the little ones haven't learned.

They seem to be surviving. :-)





This is the outfit Bob and I brought back for Quinners from Chinatown when we went to San Francisco this summer. She calls it "pajamas."





And lest you think the kids are suffering horribly, I do believe in incentives. Ha!

Have you ever wondered what Quinn would look like in 10 yards of tulle?

Wonder no more.





Things have been busy here and I've obviously taken a break from sharing photos. During the worst of my morning sickness - approximately weeks 3-13 (ha!) - I did as little as possible. No knitting, no scrapbooking, no photos, nothing. Just a lot of lying on the couch moaning for someone to put me out of my misery.

But I'm back now. Tired and large but back. So enjoy the photos and hopefully there will be more regular updates in the future.
