Legoland

Saturday, June 28th - Are we home yet? Okay, if any part of our vacation was a tad bit disappointing, both Dave and I would agree that it was our day at Legoland. I don't know if maybe it's because we went to Legoland AFTER Disneyland (though I don't think that we would have liked it much better before either), but we just didn't think that it lived up to the hype. There are always 2 camps, and sadly we have joined the "don't waste your money on it" camp. But still, we tried to make the most of our day there. Actually, I think the kids enjoyed it just fine, but for a park that claims to be geared toward the age 2-12 set, there was not much that our 2-year-old could do. :( And the lines--oh, the lines! Legoland could learn a thing or 2 from Disneyland! The rides were SO...SLOW...LOADING! But enough complaining, here are some pics:

2 cool boys with their shades.

Where are the grown up strollers, I ask? This is how we all felt much of the day.

These are shots from Miniland. I must say, all of the replicas, built entirely out of legos (go figure), were pretty cool.

And luckily we came prepared for water that day. There's a "Pirate Shores" area that the kids had fun in.

Also, before the day was over, Grayson got to go on and see the Bionicles' ride and display. He insists that he LOVES Bionicles even though he doesn't really know what they are. Nor do I. Whatever they are, I doubt that they're age appropriate, but some battles just aren't worth fighting with a 5-year-old...

And with that, we bid Legoland and our last full day of vacation farewell. The next night we'd be headed home, anxious to sleep in our own beds but sad that our adventure was over...
