Legoland Day 2

Sight unseen, we bought season passes to Legoland. After one day we knew it was a great decision! We spent the night in Carlsbad, and went back to see more of Legoland!
We boarded the Coast Cruise through Miniland where we saw several replicas of famous sites.

Sydney Opera House

See the little brown spot sticking out of George's ear? It's a little Lego crew cleaning the wax out of his ear!

New York City was built with 2 million of the 40 million Legos at Legoland. The new Freedom Tower is under construction on the left, as in New York.

Son2 and I sat out at the Aquazone, where Hubby and Son1 power skiied through the waves and dodged water blasts triggered from spectator stations.

Later in the day at the Castle Hill section of the park, Son1 and Hubby panned for gold. This is his gold medal that he is still so proud of!

Legoland has plenty of themed play structures. The Hideaways has a medieval theme, where the kids climbed rope ladders and braved wooden catwalks. It was multilevel, and one of the largest plays structures I have ever seen.
We strolled through the Enchanted Walk, and came into view of the Knights Tournament. Hubby asked if I wanted to ride. Nooo.
Hubby chose to ride Knights Tournament, alone. The kids and I hung out at the Builders Guild, a Lego building station. When it was his turn to ride, we ran down in front of the fire breathing dragon, for stroller parking. We cackled and cackled as we heard Hubby scream. These robotic arms twist and turn at high speed. The passenger selects the intensity of the ride, level 1-5. Hubby selected the full effect speed of 5. This video is a little short, since I was trying to snap pictures before I started the video.

Son1 was ready to ride more rides. Today he was more of an expert at the Volvo Junior Driving School. He remembered that the electric cars were not on a track. Why go the right way? Why not play bumper cars? Those ride attendants gave him plenty of personal driving school attention!

The last ride of the day was the Legoland Express. The park started to empty, so we just kept riding past the station until the park closed, except when a straggler wanted to board.

The day ended so fast, and we were all sad to leave Legoland. Well, maybe not all of us. Hubby and I were pretty tired!
Son1 would have homesteaded this Lego house, if we would have allowed him.

But I have even more fun to share. Yesterday I couldn't load this video, so I bring you an encore presentation of our first day at Legoland. This musical fountain is interactive. I hopped and jumped on different sensors to make the instruments play!
