I've been meaning to post about our family vacation, but it's taken me awhile to get around to it. So I've picked out some of my favorite pictures to share some of our fun times. Here we are at the front gate - everyone takes a picture here, don't they?
One of my favorite parts was the 3-D Bob the Builder movie. Enoch was laughing through the whole thing - he thought it was so cool! He kept reaching out his hand to grab whatever was coming out at him. Andrew, on the other hand, wasn't so sure about it. About halfway through he realized nothing was going to happen to him, and he started to enjoy it. The boys liked posing by the Lego Bob, but when a "real" Bob appeared (in costume), they wouldn't have anything to do with him!
Here they are watching the boats. I don't think they realize that they aren't actually controlling the boats...
With most of the rides we had to do the "parent-swap" thing, because Lynn was too little. So here's Victor and Andrew going for a ride in the planes. Enoch and I went next.
Here's a ride that Enoch could go on, but Andrew (much to his disappointment) was too small for. So here he is, galloping away on his noble steed. Off to the joust, Sir Enoch!
This is just to prove that yes, Lynn was with us, and she was having just as much fun as the boys! Isn't she adorable!?!
This was Enoch's least favorite ride. He is holding on to that lap-bar for dear life! This picture just cracks me up every time I see it!
The boys loved this part - it's just a huge outdoor playground with lots of tunnels, ladders, slides, and fun stuff to crawl on, over, and through. Victor's next project is to build an exact replica in our backyard. Full-scale, of course.
Part of Legoland is a tour of a miniature Lego-making factory. So the boys are watching how Legos are made and packaged. Pretty cool.
Attached to Legoland is the Sea-Life Aquarium, which I was pretty excited to go visit. But when you go in, they have you stop in this enclosed area and wait for a few minutes. Well, Andrew freaked out and screamed until they let us out. So he didn't want to go through the aquarium, and it took a lot of effort just to go through quickly. Oh well. At least they liked this part. You can put your head up in this bubble thing, and watch the fish swimming 360 degrees around you. It was pretty neat, but not built for big people, and not meant for all 3 of us at one time!
So there's the quick recap of some of the things we did. We had a good time, despite the fact that I was fighting a cold. The weather was perfect, we didn't forget anything important, and nothing happened to our car, so we call the trip a success!
