LEGO Land Part 1 (by sarah)
As I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing already we went to Lego land at the weekend with Alaric's cousin Maurice and his kids Harry and Annabelle. I can not say how much I enjoyed it though it was slightly too cold for me and the queuing situation ment we didn't do alot of stuff. I have to confess that though lego land was my idea I didn't realise it was a theme park! I thought it was just lots and lots of models of things and room full of lego to play on - so I was pleasently surprised especially as we got a firework display and a 4D movie as well.
There are a lot of photos which I will probably split over several posts.
As we drew near there were lego people moving lego letters into place and Jean and Daddy and Me were puzzling over them when we saw that they make a giant WELCOME! Excitement grew especially when we found that the parking lot was marked out by giant lego letters!
I then got a little over excited at all the lego models that were Halloween themed and Jeany had to come and get me before I got completely seperated from the rest of the group.
We all grouped in the obvious place - by the dino lego clock! This had Jeany most interested 🙂
The weather wasn't brilliant but I still thought the views were pretty impressive 🙂
We then went into the Star Wars exhibit - but I will cover that in another post! As will Land of The Vikings, Minni World and Dino Safari 🙂
The kids wanted to go on a water ride which had dragons all over it. (I videoed them actually going past.)
Mary got frussy about not getting to join in or being allowed out of her pram so Alaric devised a method called - rope.
And then we went into the Maze! I think Alaric was more excited about this than anybody else though Harry solved it the fastest even if it did get him told off for running off 🙂
Each of the kids had to put their heads in the wholes for photos - this isn't lots of the same pic honest!
We wanted to go in and see the Egyptian stuff but there was a 75 minute wait! So we moved on to LEGO City in search of food. Of which we found pizza!
Lego City where the kids get diggy!
Though they had to queue for ages!
I kept finding lots of extra little things to photograph as we went.
Including the hotel were we all agreed we wanted to stay and had a long involved conversation about weather or not the beds and curtains would be made of lego!
Then there was an attempt at Atlantis but the que was too long, we did however brave the que for Dino Safari ( photos of which will be in another post along with most of the ones from Lego City!) We also watched a pirate play with the most amazing stunt actors - those are real people falling off the tower!
There is a lot more to come!
