you know, this getting up late thing is tiring lol. needless to say, we missed breakfast this morning. instead we grabbed a quick snack and headed out the door. got on the road to LegoLand at about 11:15am lol. takes an hour to get there.
i just want to say that it was great! better than the Disney parks we had visited so far. it is so kid-friendly at LL. and they LOVE Make-A-Wish kids. went to the main gift shop and got a discount. then on to the first ride. and i should say that all the rides are designed for kids 48" and some for as small as 38". and many of the rides can be ridden parent-free. alex got to go on his first roller coaster at the castle. and donovan chickened out lol. i will post the picture when i get home and can scan it in. then on to another ride called Island in the Sky. really hard to explain this one. but then we went on the carousel and they let alex ride twice, but he didn't want to. so on to a pic with a giant lego man. from there it was a trip to MiniLand. EVERYTHING was made of legos in miniature form. new york, london, las vegas, NASA, Daytona, a pirate scene.... we even saw animals tucked into the landscape made of legos. i couldn't take enough pictures. walter and donovan (who finally got up the nerve) went on a coaster, minus the parents. the kids rode lego horses on a "jousting" ride. donovan got to play on playgrounds and little lego stations are dotted everywhere for the kids. oh yeah, there was also a life-sized Darth Vader and R2-D2 made from legos. this place was amazing. we all had so much fun. wish there was one close to us in texas lol.
well, pics are posted on FaceBook. gonna call it a night. trying to get a day of rest tomorrow, but damien is insistent on doing Universal Studios-Orlando tomorrow :( ...
later.
Blessed Be.
