Legoland!

Legoland was a lot of fun. It doesn't have a lot of big rollercoasters, because it is geared for the younger crowd (2-12 I think). Austin could go on all the rides by himself, Nyah had to have an adult riding with her on the bigger rides, Olivia could go on some of the tamer rides, and Jolie only on a couple. They did have playgrounds in each section for toddlers and babies.

The fabulous thing is that the park wasn't busy at all. When we got on line we were able to get right on the ride or just wait for the next ride. So we were able to go on them several times before moving on to the next ride. It was so much fun.

The stinky thing was that Kurt got a really bad headache, and ended up not riding the rides, and hanging out with the little girls, and I'm sure you can imagine that wasn't too much fun. But because there weren't any crowds to fight we were still able to almost everything and get out of there to get him some relief.

Can we go on this ride? What about that ride? Is it time to go on a ride? Did you see that? I want to do that one! What about this? Do they look like they are about to burst with excitement? They were bouncing all over the place!! Taking a boat ride - this is one of the rides everyone could go on.


More playgrounds!?!
Karla & Nyah- they peddled their car fast enough to catch up with Olivia & I, who were slower with only one peddler. Austin was ahead of us and much to fast to get a picture of.
Helicopter ride - Olivia and I did this one a couple times while the older two were doing a racing ride, and then they came over to do this one too.
This is what Jolie was doing while we were flying

To the rescue of fair maidens and princes in distress There is a huge section called Miniland which are real places built out of legos, like Pier 49 in San Francisco, New York City, and lots more.
Meeting a real live Bionicle!!
Darth Vadar never had a chance against these Jedi.

This was probably the biggest ride in the park and it had this one big drop and a couple smaller drops. I like how I'm brave enough to put my hands in the air after we've reached the bottom.



This was a really neat ride, but also a little technical. Nyah could go on the ride, but she had to wear a special padded vest to fit in the chair, and because of her size could only do level one. She was super disappointed to not get to go upside down.


Austin was able to ride at level 2, and it was a bit more exciting. Just watching the people doing level 5 made me feel a little queasy.


Another great day on our vacation!

We went to Legoland back in February we had so much fun, the boys loved that tech ride you had videos of. Mason liked Legoland better than disneyland because of the mellower rides. They couldn't get enough of the helicopters and the driving school thing. I am glad you guys had fun.
