Legoland

On Tuesday July 30th I decided to take the boys to Lego land.  One of my friends and her son joined us.  It is about a three hour drive to get there, so we started out around 7 am so we could be there right when it opened at 10 am.  Luckily we didn't hit any staus (traffic jams for you in the states) and made it there as it opened.  What I found amazing was how many people were already inside at that time.  They must line up well before 10 am.  But that was okay because in we went and the boys were so excited!!  Especially Michael because last fall he was too short to go on a few rides and he really, really wanted to go on the Hero factory ride, like his brother.  :-)

 

Michael in front of Ninjago - the boys still love them even though now they are into Chima also

 

The boys with a baker - AJ really wanted the pretzel!

 

This was the first ride we went on - all very excited to be starting our day at Lego land!

 

We were spinning around and around on this ride - I love the smiles!!!

 

This is a ride Michael was too short for last time and AJ was too nervous to go on.  But this time we all went on it and loved every minute of it!!!

 

Here the boys are with their favorite new Lego - Lego Chima

 

There are at least three playgrounds on the park grounds and it was a good release of energy since we had to wait in line quite a bit.

 

I just thought this was cool piece of Lego

 

And the spider was great!!!  I am not sure if the boys liked it or not though.

 

Yoda - he was new since the last time we went

 

Of course both boys wanted their picture with him!

 

Michael is ready to take on the bad guys!!

 

And you can't forget R2D2

 

Or fighting Darth Vader!

 

Michael was driving a motorized car - scary - but he loved it!!  AJ was too old for this one and the one he could do was a 45 minute wait, so he and I went to Hero factory and did that ride instead.

 

Michael with is driver's license - only at Lego land though.  He keeps telling us he wants a motorcycle.  Look out world!

 

This ride Michael did not want to go on at all, but I convinced him it would be okay.

 

After the ride he said it was AWESOME!!!!!!

 

AJ was having fun too!!!

 

Michael tried to pull the sword out of the stone, but to no avail.

 

AJ tried also and didn't have any luck either.

 

Jeri was nice enough to buy ice cream for the boys - it was HUGE!

 

The Chinese circus was there and doing a Chima show.  They were amazing - this is a young boy that was fantastic!

 

She was actually able to keep up two of those on her feet and keep them spinning at the same time.

 

This is their group minus one female - that is pretty good balance

 

He was flipping the pot around and catching it on his heads without any hands - ouch

 

These guys had some hops!

 

The boys pulling up and up and then letting go and down they went!!!  They were giggling the whole way up and down!

 

It was a hot day, even though it rained on us three separate times, and the boys had fun in the water park!

 

My monkeys!!!  Climbing up the coconut trees!

 

This is the second camel they have had a ride on, the first one was a live camel which moved a bit more than this one.  ;-)

 

Michael rowing his boat ashore hallelujah (and yes as I typed I sang the song)!  This was another ride that AJ was too big for, poor guy, but Michael had a great time!

 

AJ is up in the wire mesh - it was the last playground they played at before we left the park since everything was closing.

 

 

And the end of a wonderful day at Lego Land!  We spent nine and a half hours at the park and another three hour drive home, but it was all worth it to see the smiles and laughter of the boys!!  They are priceless!
