Fun time!

Guess what we did this past Sunday? Went to LEGOLAND!

The Princess had been there before, but the Bear didn't even know that place existed. He was SO excited when we got there. The Hubs, the kids, LilSis, Shorty, Kay, Theo, and I arrived out around 11am. We didn't leave until almost 5pm.

It was a good time. We did the fire truck race. And it was WORK! The girls got in one truck. The Hubs didn't do it so the boys team was down one. And guess what? We girls WON the entire race! LilSis and I were out of breath when we finished it. You folks who've done this particular race know what I'm talking about.

We then hit the tower pull. Little did I know when we got in line that I'd have to use my arms again! I was pretty out of breath by the end of that one. Thankfully, the Prin didn't want to go up and down too many times! We did the kiddy airplanes after that. Then the twirling pirate ship. LilSis and I didn't ride that one. The Bear just LOVED it! The Princess was skittish on it bit didn't complain on the ride. After that we got some lunch. Then hit the fair games. We didn't realize there was an entire water area! So for those of you who ahven't been to Legoland in a while? Bring swimsuits and swim diapers for your little ones. They'll have a BLAST in the water area! This way you'll be able to sit and relax for a bit while they continue to burn some energy! We walked around and saw most of the displays. We walked by the roller coaster and the Bear wanted to go on it! But we hit the teacups right next to it. And unfortunately, the Bear wasn't tall enough for it. 42 inches required! He was pretty upset as the other kids were able to get on. We ended up having to stop turning about midway through as the Prin got too dizzy and nervous. She felt like we were going to hit another teacup. So we stopped turning and just laughed and laughed. Kay and Shorty got on the catapult ride (level 2 of 5 due to Kay's height). I'm sure the Bear would have gone on it if we'd let him! We ended the day with the water boat ride. Oh yes! Somewhere in the middle of all this, the kids got their faces painted. Who wouldn't stop to get this done for their kids?

We were SO exhausted by the end of the day. I would highly recommend Legoland to anyone who has kids 10 or younger.
