In line for our first ride! Unfortunately, Hudson was too short, so just Mommy and Sterling rode this one. I got in an arm workout, that's for sure!
On our way to catch up with Daddy and Hudson at the airplanes, we saw this awesome car made of....LEGOS!
After Disneyland, this boy loves anything that goes high in the sky!
Sterling made his way over to the Lego race car track....He had to say he was 6 years old to be able to drive alone, he's close enough and all the practice he got at Disneyland we felt comfortable with it. Not to mention, these cars don't go too fast! It was really cute though, because he had a REALLY hard time not being completely truthful! Doesn't he look cool in his glasses?! Right after this he left them in a store :(
Fire truck races were next! Now, let me just tell you, there aren't many leisurely rides at Legoland. Hudson and I rode this by ourselves while Sterling was at the Volvo race track and the poor worker had to help me. 2 people have to pump the truck, while pushing a joystick in the direction you want to go, then hop out and push 2 buttons on the hydrant to get the water to spray until you put out your fire, then back in the fire truck to pump back. As you can imagine, Hudson wasn't a huge help all by himself and I think Wade and John were even surprised at how "complicated" it all was.
As you can imagine though, they did win 1st in their race!
Lego boats, Wade says theirs was broken because it wouldn't go very fast!
I must say, you pay to go to Legoland to see the incredible things they build. While it was a fun day, it doesn't even compare to Disney. There wasn't nearly as much for Hudson to ride, the lines did not move as quickly and there wasn't much shade at all! But, again.....what these people create is AMAZING!
That carousel really works! As did the bull at the rodeo, which we all know is Huddy's favorite. He actually cried when he had to give another kid a turn....
The Hollywood Bowl
A little RV park of campers - my kids told us all week they wanted to get a trailer we could live in and stay in California
New York City
One of the Lego Heros from Hero Factory
We cooled off for a bit inside the Hero Factory. They had every body part/shield for any type of Hero you every wanted to create!
I was amazed by this wall of Legos created completely with individual pieces, millions of them
Hudson fell asleep while Wade and Sterling waited in line to ride this thing!
We ended the day walking through the Star Wars Episode Gallery!
They're all there....Chewbaca, C3PO, R2D2.....
This is a picture of the room where they actually build all of these "things" - The room is filled floor to ceiling with rows and rows of wonderfully organized Legos!
I am so glad we went, although, I must say, we were a little disappointed, especially based on the price. However, if you or your child is a Lego lover, it was great and everyone had fun! We were all still on a Disney high, so maybe our expectations were a little unrealistic.
