Legoland

I used this photo in yesterdays post but it is so cute and appropriate that I am using it again today!

It was Star Wars weekend at the park. The girls were not familiar with the characters but were curious. Havana wouldn't get up close but Amara did with some time. Now we will have to watch the movies!

This was from the movie set of the Lego movie.

Amara was so thrilled to 'drive' that she talked her Papa into getting her a (toy) driver license complete with her photo and name.  (it wasn't hard to convince him!)

As Amara gets older we are discovering how much she loves to primp and pose! (that's her license around her neck)

Legoland is designed to be so kid friendly. There are plenty of rides but also play structures; play areas, water parks and other things to keep the little people engaged and entertained.

Amara and I got drenched on this ride!!

Getting wet at the water park.

Havana isn't too keen on the fast, thrill type rides. This horse ride was just her speed. She went on three times!

Emmet from the Lego movie. This character Havana was happy to meet!

I left our long weekend quite impressed with Legoland. The layout of the park was easy enough to figure out and venture through, the variety of choices for the kids rides and play areas was well thought out and designed, and the ease of getting in and out of the park made it easy (we stayed across the street and it was about 5-7 minute walk). The park was busy but it didn't have nearly the crowds as the larger theme parks so it was not overwhelming or to overstimulating. We also made our way into the aquarium which is literately a few feet from the Legoland gate. It was a small but sweet aquarium that was a nice break from the park. I am not sure we would go again (there are other places on the holiday list) but it is a spot I would definitely recommend going. It's a perfect place for the little people to explore, have some thrills, let their imagination go and to just be kids.
