Legoland - final day of Vacay

Our second day in Legoland was basically about hitting up the rides we somehow missed, taking a closer look at stuff we saw the day before and experiencing the opening of the Star Wars Miniland.

First we headed straight for the Sky Cruiser. The day before a lady told me there was an hour and half wait. So we didnt even attempt on the first day.

Then Neil and J did the Kid Power Tower where the parents have to haul you up and then you can fall down while in the chair. It looked fun!
Justus wanted to ride the cars again and we did a few other rides that we liked from the day before. We also walked through the Lego Factory Tour.


The ride that we missed that Neil really wanted to do was the Knights Tournament. He and J did it together. H was too small. It was really cool - basically like a giant dragon claw swinging them around.


Then it was on to check out the Star Wars new exhibit.




It was so crowed and there were Characters walking around everywhere - lots of red carpet and media. Pretty crazy.

The day before the park was not very busy at all, but this day it sure was.

Then we ate lunch and watched as the TV crews were doing their thing.

One last pic with the sand sculpture before we headed home.

What a great family vacation!

Family Vacay 2 - Legoland!

All of us were excited to check out Legoland. Neil nor I had ever been there and of course the kids hadnt either.

We spent two days there. On the second day they were opening a new exhibit in Miniland - Star Wars!

We basically just went around the park and went on everything that came across our path. The first ride was the Coast Cruise. That took you on a boat ride showcasing their Lego creations. One section took you through part of Miniland and we got to see lots of National and International monuments.

Haven got to ride almost everything but there were a few exceptions. Neil and Justus got to do the Lego Technic coaster. I think thats the fastest/biggest one at the park. It looked super fun!
We did all the rides in Land of Adventure and then made our way to Castle Hill. This was just a fun place. The kids got to ride their own horse - No adults!
Neil made sure we got wet in Pirate Shores. One ride (Splash Battle) was fun, but oh my, it sure soaked me!
Then into Fun Town. Here there were Lego cars to race, airplanes to ride and helicopters to lift off. The Lego cars were by far one of Justus favorites. With the cars, there is a side for 3-5 year old and a side for 6-12 year olds that is much bigger. J was a little disappointed that he couldnt do the big one but still really loved driving.





Justus really wanted to do a ride where we got in either a police truck or fire truck and race. The catch is it is hand pumped by whoever is in the truck so Neil and I definitely got our workout for that ride. Then we had to get out and squirt water through a window to "put out a fire" get back into the truck, pump our way back to the beginning and try to be first. It sure was fun team work!

Then the kids played in Duplo Village. They ran around and had a good time playing. Also there were more rides to ride.







We did a few more rides in Dino Island.
It was a full day. We went and checked out where the Star Wars exhibit would be and we also saw the people working on the Star Wars sand sculpture.
Haven and I also found a fun mini in Miniland

Then it was back to the hotel for our free dinner. Our hotel was great because it served free breakfast and dinner - all out and yummy. Sure did help us on our budgeting.

Got our rest and got ready for our last day of Vacay!
