Legoland

Like I said, we spent last week in San Diego and had a fun packed week. It's going to take me a couple of days to post it all since I'll have to do a post for each day that we were there since I get a little picture happy.

On Tuesday we went to Legoland. It was a first for all of us. We had a great time and I'm glad that we went now, because I don't think Maddy will enjoy it as much in a few years. We only spent 1 day there, but I think that whenever we go back we'll spend 2 days. There was a lot that we just couldn't fit in. They have a couple of water slides and log ride that we brought swimming suits for, but we just didn't have time to do them.

This was actually a picture of us leaving Legoland, but I thought it was a good picture to start with.

Look how brave they all are with their hands up. You can barely see Bryson next to Travis, but his little hands are up too. Admittedly, this isn't that big of a roller coaster. If Bryson was just 1/2 and inch taller, he could have ridden the biggest one there. He loves the thrill rides!
Poor Ally wasn't allowed on the super fast, super dangerous Lego safari. Actually, I really don't know why they have a height restriction on this ride, but at least I was there to get a couple of pictures.
Maddy was sooooo excited to have Ally sit next to her on the fairytale boat ride. She did a great job taking this picture of the two of them.
Maddy was pretty bummed after this ride. Her boat wouldn't drive and she had to get pushed along by other boats. Oh well, what can you do. The boys loved being able to drive!
Here are Jacob and Maddy at the Volvo driving school. They really get to drive the cars and are "encouraged" to obey the traffic laws. There are stop signs, stop lights, intersections, etc. They had a great time. Too bad there wasn't a play cop pulling over those kids who never stopped. ;-)

Here is Bryson at the Jr. driving school. He actually got to drive his car too, but his track was just an oval. You can only be 3-5 yrs. old to drive here. He loved it too!

Ally loved being able to get out of her stroller and ride a ride every once in a while.

This was the only wet ride we squeezed in. They loved being able to squirt the other boats and bystanders watching the ride. Fortunately they don't mind getting wet either.

It amazes me how someone can build a life size elephant out of tiny little Legos. I think it took close to 200,000 Legos to build this one.

It also amazes me how realistic they can build things just out of Legos. When you look up close you can't believe the amount of detail that they put into these miniatures.Here we are in front of the White House before we left. We're giants! ;-)

The kids really had a great time! It was fun for even Ally, at least some of the time. Ally is a really a trooper and doesn't complain too much about being cooped up in her stroller all day. At least there were a few rides that she enjoyed. She enjoyed Wed. better - pictures to follow. ;-)
