LEGOLAND Discovery Center Grapevine Texas- KIDS GO FREE Printable Coupon!

*Disclosure- I may receive complimentary passes for my family for sharing this promotion with my readers. Regardless, I only recommend products and places I would personally recommend and that I think my readers would enjoy.

I grew up in north Texas in a suburb of Dallas and I wouldn't have it any other way. I prefer the feel of a small town, my husband would rather live in a big city, so we settled on a mid sized city. There are a lot of options here, but the good thing is no matter where you live there are cool things to do everywhere around you. One of my favorite cities to visit is Grapevine. It is about half an hour from where we live and it has the best outlet mall around- Grapevine Mills. A few years ago, Grapevine Mills became an even greater place to visit with the addition of the Sea Life Aquarium and LEGOLAND. I have three little ones, so we have been to LEGOLAND our fair share of times since it opened. When we first started going to LEGOLAND, my kids were still toddling around, but even then there was plenty for them to do. There are stations with all kinds of LEGOS set up throughout LEGOLAND. There are sections that are clearly meant for toddlers, which is nice. They have the nice big DUPLO blocks that those kids enjoy playing with. Now that my kids are a little bit older, they like to explore all of LEGOLAND. There is a 4D movie theater on site that my kids have loved going to. There are usually two movies playing there alternately and we have definitely been known to watch them more than once. My daughter (who is 6 years old) absolutely loves the little roller coaster ride called Kingdom Quest Laser Ride. It is fun for the older kids, but not too scary for the younger ones either. I think my kids' absolute favorite thing at LEGOLAND is the big, soft playground. They can spend hours in there. Sometimes I have to coax them out to go check out the other stuff.














LEGOLAND is currently offering a great special-KIDS GO FREE with the purchase of an adult. The coupon code is valid for up to (4) free children's ticket per coupon with the purchase of (4) adult tickets.

There is so much to do, you may find yourself heading back to fit it all in.

 

The Crossing by Serita Ann Jakes- Book Review

I was excited to come across The Crossing by Serita Ann Jakes. I knew when I read the summary of the book, that it would be something I would enjoy. The book is about a shooting that takes place on a school bus 10 years prior injuring a star football player, Casio Hightower, killing head cheeleading coach BJ Remington and forever changing the life of Claudia, a student and cheerleader that had a very close relationship with Remington. The story is set ten years later where Claudia's husband, who happens to be a lawyer, re-opens the case in hopes of giving his wife some closure and Casio Hightower, who is now a police officer, seems to be dealing with post traumatic stress disorder. The Crossing is a great portrayal of what life might be like for the victims of such a tragedy, even ten years later. I thought Jakes did a great job of not trying to sugar coat things. Sometimes life just doesn't always have a happy ending. This is a great read for someone who enjoys a good drama with a little bit of suspense.
