OMG OMG Legoland!!!

BEST. DAY. EVER.

We are staying at the Legoland Hotel. This was something we debated about because it was more expensive, but we already are 100% thrilled with our decision. The place is SO AMAZING. I can't tell you enough how much we loved every single detail. The restaurant, the entertainment, the rooms, the proximity, the perks, the staff, the everything. 10/10 would recommend.

But onto the park! Of course the first place we went was Ninjago world because DUH. NINJAGO. Kai was hanging around for a photo op so we snagged a pic!

Ninjas in training. We did the ride and Cael totally destroyed everyone with his amazing aim and lightning-fast hands.

This picture is the most important of the entire day (maybe my life) because of the woman in the background with the black sunglasses on: Alana de la Garza, who was the lead in one of my very favorite shows ("Forever") which was cancelled too soon and I still get really sad about. No, I didn't talk to her, but yes, I was inches away from her multiple times during the day so that counts for something. Also, we made eye contact and I almost hyperventilated. NBD.

Two rides Mama didn't do today. This was one of them. Spinning =/= winning.

The Technic Test Track was pretty amazing. The most exciting of the rollercoasters, for sure.

Time for Fun Town!

The boys had to race to rescue some Lego characters from a burning building! (They didn't win. Ryan says it was because the handle wasn't toggled, but I'm fairly sure it's because he has teeny muscles and he was in charge of pumping to get the engine to move.)

Hi, Emmett!

Junior driving course for our littlest driver.

Then the big guys hit the main course.

I think this means Ryan doesn't have to drive back to LAX.

Fairy Tale Brook!

Safari Trek!

Dad is, of course, the wildest animal of them all.

He's basically 16.

OH NO!

4D is the new 3D (if you enjoy getting sprayed with water and bubbles, that is).

Knight business is serious business :|

Dragon Roller Coaster was a huge hit and we hit it at the right time (no wait!) so we had to go twice in a row.

Declan had been waiting all day for this one.

Depending on your size, you can pick different intensities for The Royal Joust. They each picked the highest they possibly could, of course. Even Declan went for a spin (not pictured).

As you may be able to guess, this was the second of the rides that Mama passed on. More spins for Dad!!

Wheeeeeee!

When we finally made it back to our room (10pm) we had figured out the answer to our treasure hunt questions (given at check-in) so we got to open the treasure chest...

Which was filled with Legos for each of them! 

Time for bed for these pirates. Day 2 awaits!
