More Fun at LegoLand

The next morning we were all excited to get up and get moving!

The boys played in the lobby for a few minutes after breakfast. 

Then it was on to the park!
Since we stayed at the hotel, we were able to enter the park 30 minutes early. While this would be beneficial on busy days, we had the park to ourselves most of the day as it was...a perk of going on the first Monday in May!

Luke rode his first real roller coaster and loved it. Because there we no lines, we were able to stay on and ride as many times as we wanted!

The Ninjago ride opened last month and the boys loved it too!  

We LOVE amusement parks when we have the place to ourselves!

Skiing Lego minifigures!

The Chima ride was a big hit, too! Because everyone got soaked while riding it, Creed and I opted out and let the boys take a few rides. (We had to make them quit riding-ha!) Creed did make sure to squirt them when they came by!

Soaked and happy!

Back at the hotel, the Lego Movie is always playing, so Caleb cooled off and relaxed for a while.

We spent a few hours at the hotel pool that afternoon too.

The elevators at the Legoland hotel...oh my!

As soon as the door closes, disco lights start up and music starts playing. It's always a dance party!

The boys participated in a Lego building contest that evening

and played in the lobby for over three hours. They had a blast and were not ready to go up to the room, even though it was close to10pm!

Caleb made a friend from Argentina and they worked together to create this guy. They proudly displayed it on the shelves in the lobby.

We love the Legoland hotel!

LegoLand!!

We took the boys to Legoland a few years ago, and promised them that we would take them back when they were six and eight, so earlier this year, we started planning our trip. We decided to go the first week of May, after spring break but before summer, to avoid the crowds...which turned out to be the perfect time to go! We had an awesome trip- we all had a blast, and everything went really smoothly.

Seeing "TSA PRE" checked on tickets is like winning the lottery for me!

The only real hiccup of the trip was the hour delay we had once we got on the plane. There was some maintenance issue, but thankfully it was only an hour.

The boys had all of their school makeup work, so the hour proved the best time to get lots of it finished!

With the direct flight, we were still at our hotel before noon! We stayed at the Marriott Harbour Lake in Orlando the first night and it was great. There were two pools, which kept the boys happy until bedtime.

Florida blue bird skies proved harsh for our pale Kentucky skin, even with Coppertone 50! We were all four a little crispy. 

The next morning we checked out and drove to Winter Haven...

LegoLand! 

We dropped off our luggage and then hit up the amusement park.

Our plan for day one was to spend the day at the water park, but we had to admire the Lego cities on the way.

Luke also decided to stop in the Kingdom land and pretend he was jousting. Apparently that is the face he thought he should make the whole time he was riding.

Later we headed back to the hotel to get cleaned up. I can't say enough about how kid-friendly this hotel is. They have thought of everything!

Both boys watched YouTube videos about the hotel, so they were so excited to get to the room. First up- their treasure hunt!

We let Luke pick and he chose to stay in an Adventure Themed room.

That evening the boys had a Lego building lesson, which they loved. They even signed up again the following night.

Then it was story time in the lobby and Caleb was chosen to help tell the story.

When she asked his name, he responded "Gary Wozneak." Yep. I about fell out of my chair laughing. She called him Gary the whole time.

We all got a great night sleep and were ready for another fun day!
