When your day starts out with breakfast with a pirate you know it's going to be a winner.
Day 2: JUST. AS. AWESOME.
We returned to the Ninjago ride...
...where Finn dominated, landing himself a spot on the daily leader board! Earth Ninja!!
A little ninja training to get the muscles working. (Some are bigger than others.)
Lightning fast reflexes! (Yes, they're totally cheating.)
Na na na na na na na na na!
Technic Test Track was the ultimate favorite
You can see why!
Some high-flying fun.
Woooosh!
Today we finally made it to the "heart of Legoland" -- Miniland!
We stopped by New York to visit Adam and Matt but they weren't home :(
There was excellent teamwork happening at the boat building station.
Success!
Better watch out!
Per Finn's request, we literally took a smile and a serious group photo in front of every single Star Wars minifigure. I will spare you that particular gauntlet.
Don't worry, he let us go with just a warning.
This guy, however, kept us around a while.
Since we drove cars yesterday, today we made time for Skipper School. All the boys passed with flying colors.
The best part of Splash Battle was that the boats themselves were equipped with the lamest little water guns that could barely dribble on bystanders, but the bystanders had these giant guns that could easily drench the pirates. There was a random citizen who elected himself captain of the bystanders and was directing them on who to soak. He picked Ryan. Nailed it. And since they were already wet...
It was time for the Pirate Reef!
They were drenched! Ryan's underwear were still wet eight hours later ahahahahahahah.
Granny's Apple Fries lived up to the hype.
Time for the Hideaway.
They could have played in this thing for hours.
Hanging out.
No parents allowed.
One of the most exciting parts of Legoland is the minifigure swap. All the employees have name badges that have minifigures attached to them. If you bring a minifigure to the park you can swap yours out with one of the employees' figures. We brought 22 old, gross, bald, chewed-on duplicates from home and after two days of swaps this is the haul we landed with (Ryan found two extras on the ground!). Not bad!
Every evening in the hotel there is a Lego building competition and all three boys entered and made some great kingdom-themed creations.
Declan was the winner in his age bracket! He made a magnificent torch.
We also won the day by finding and retrieving the elusive Golden Pop Badge, which is hidden on a random employee in the park every day. YAY, CARTYS!
