Legoland

For years, Jackson has dreamed of going to Legoland. I'm so glad that we were able to go before he was too old to have a good time. It was a great introductory amusement park, and got us ready for Disneyland.

There were lots of crazy things built out of Legos. Jackson enjoyed the tame roller coasters. Bennett would not go on anything that looked slightly scary. Sarah was game for anything she was tall enough to ride.

Dinosaur Dig

Paxton went down the slides dozens of times. No fear, and totally in love with being able to do it all by himself. He would've been happy there all day.

The kids were excited to drive these little Lego cars. Sarah and Bennett loved it, but it turned out to be a bit "underwhelming" for Jackson.

 

 

Bennett was brave and went on the helicopters even though he was scared of the height.

 

Bennett wanted to brave and like the pirate shop ride, but as soon as it started up, he started to scream "I want to get off! I don't like!" and cried through most of the ride. Poor kid! Everyone else loved it.

Paxton was a trooper and took a much-needed nap in the stroller.

Shooting pirates with water cannons.

Can you see Sarah's very serious facial expression? She was taking the exploration very seriously!

Bennett was also a very serious knight. You can't tell but he loved it!

These little airplanes were just Bennett's speed.

Bennett was scared to death & so brave. Sarah was so excited & loved it.

The kids were all fascinated with MiniLand USA. Really cool.

MiniLand Star Wars was not completed but we could see a lot of it from afar. Jack's favorite.

Just as a sidenote, the food at Legoland was surprisingly good for an amusement park. Salads, stirfry with fresh vegetables, nice desserts. Pricey, of course, but really good. All of us enjoyed it.
