The boys were up bright and early each day for Legoland.\u00a0 They seemed to be stuck on Colorado time, waking around 6:30 when the park doesn’t open until 9:30.\u00a0 The hotel provides a buffet breakfast that met most of their requests (no whole strawberries?\u00a0 Quelle horreur!).<\/p>\n

We used our early access as hotel guests both days to sneak onto rides before others.\u00a0 Day 1 was cold and rainy for a few hours, so some rides were shut down.\u00a0 I worried that the kids would be dour about the weather, but I think I did the most grumbling.\u00a0 In fact, the boys had a total of ONE minor tantrum from Sam on the second day.\u00a0 It was more of a disagreement than a tantrum.\u00a0 The boys were awesome.<\/p>\n

Both days were low attendance – we walked straight onto almost every ride, hardly ever waiting more than a couple minutes to load.\u00a0 We rode our favorites twice in a row; it doesn’t get any better than that!<\/p>\n

Tons of pictures here, mostly out of order.<\/p>\n

Jack tried to trade some minifigs and Michael refused several because they were too cool to give away.\u00a0 He tried to give Jack an education on collecting.\u00a0 Jack just wanted a new one.<\/p><\/div>\n

Many rides can’t have pictures on them. Here we are getting seated for the Kid Power Towers.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m on a boat!<\/p><\/div>\n

This ride has five levels to customize your ride.\u00a0 Sam REALLY wanted to do this ride on “medium” and go upside down.\u00a0 They had to give him a padded vest (“armor”) to fit in the seats and only let him go on the lowest setting – fairly slow and no upside-down.\u00a0 He wants to come back bigger so we can go on a crazier setting.<\/p><\/div>\n

Not a bad picture by Jack!<\/p><\/div>\n

Saying good-bye to the ride than opened and closed both days for us, the Coastersaurus.<\/p><\/div>\n

In the aquarium I spotted a gold button on an employee and Jack retrieved it.\u00a0 We had seen Wanted posters around the park for them.\u00a0 Apparently there are only a couple of them out each day and if you get one you can turn it in for a free admission ticket or keep it as a souvenir.\u00a0 Since we are not local he decided to keep it.\u00a0 Apparently they go for good money on eBay, but Jack doesn’t want to sell.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
