My favorite part about Legoland was that it was fast, all day long. No long lines. I hate those. We did a dragon roller coaster twice (Tyler has become a big fan of coasters), a few smaller rides, and then a shooting Gallery with moving stuff and legos. Jess and I tied, and Tyler didn't get any. We are really good at rides.
After lunch, we saw Wildstyle! Tyler went up and nerviously waved hi for a while, we got some pictures, as you do, and then we found a place where you got to *build* with legos. Tyler really liked that one. We made a bunch of lego cars and raced them. Tyler named his car "Serious Guy". They had a place where you could build buildings with Duplos and then try and shake them down with earthquake power, but what I mostly learned from my experiments was that Duplos are really strong.
Then Tyler got to drive a car. It was all very controlled, but he definitely did it. He made turns and avoided obstacles, unless mom asked him to wave hi. It's not good to drive distracted. We were quite proud.
We did a bunch more rides, they move you around fast.
Then was miniland, and that was neat. That's where they have all the lego replicas of Vegas, the shuttle, Star Wars, various cities, it was really neat to see the stuff. Also they had buttons that made things move.
They had a waterski show we got to watch, too. They had pirates, and action, and people going off jumps. Neat. There were fireworks at the end, and they only scared Tyler a little.
And, of course, there were lots of legos to see. Tyler and Jess got some ice cream while I wandered through shops. Lots of things to like, but nothing that made me want to buy it right away. I would have had to get it home afterwards. I did end up getting a few small things to play with, but Jess is right, it's too small to have those around the house while Casey is learning to crawl. Cats knock them off tables, they end up all over the place, and Casey is definitely at the stage where those things are too small and probably dangerous for her. Soon, though. I have some saved up for later.
Then we came back to the hotel, got some sleep, and flew back home. We had some fun at the airport, too. Tyler made some new friends and drove cars and Dinosaur puppets around with them. It was a good way to spend the time before the flight.
Of course, then the kids got sick on the flight home, and we spent much of the past week with them at home fighting off fevers and bad attitudes. It's definitely the most exhausting vacation I've ever had.
