Florida Recap: Legoland!

And now, the festivities a la Lego...

Best shot of the whole trip! 

This delighted my people ... throwback to the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disney, which was a particular fave a couple years ago.

We rode it more than once ... or twice.  :}

 

Shameless indulgence at a silly game booth.  $10 a kid plus a generous booth worker afforded Anna a cheap purple giraffe and a giant minion for Noah. :}

It was {really} neat to let the kids ride coasters by themselves! 
Big kids rock.

This view made me laugh all day long.

All of this.  Legos. And a million other impressive builds in the mini-city area.

Trading minifigs for the millionth time...

Did I mention how stinking hot it was in FL while we were there?  A nice wet ride was just what we needed.  Some of us more than others. Can you say "drowned rat"?

You can see Anna there in the middle behind the lady in pink.  She was fearless about the coasters.  Hands up almost every ride.

Noah gave it a try with his hands up for once, too.  I really think this was the ONLY time he did this. This particular coaster was my favorite coaster in the park. 

When you pass the man the camera...

Seriously.  How amazing is this tree?!?!?

In line for a thrill ... Anna was juuuuuuust barely tall enough to ride.

Mine and Josh's favorite ride ... in the Friends of Heartlake City area, no less! This ride was a POWERFUL rush.  Just did not expect that in the Lego Friends part of the park.  Ha!

View of hotel from our last ride - Island in the Sky.

Headed out for the last time...

I would almost venture to say to that all the minifig trading with employees all over the park was Noah's favorite thing both days.  Here's all the guys he and Anna traded up for.

Most expensive souvenir we've ever bought.  If I catch Josh in the right mood, he {might} let the kids actually take it apart.  Ya know, as Legos were intended to be used.  Ha!!  This coaster was called The Dragon and was both kids' favorite ride. We went to it first both days and were able to ride repeatedly without even getting off.

Great trip!  Perfect fit!  Thanks, Legoland!
