Our Everyday Life

Sabbatical 2016. Legoland

Part 46 here
Back in April, while I was busy with moving our blog to the different platform I found pictures from our last Legoland trip in 2013. I was staring at them when kids entered the room and caught me daydreaming. As soon as they noticed the pictures they started to ask questions if we can go to Legoland again. So we thought a little bit and then bought the tickets and booked a room in the Legoland Hotel.

That’s why after finishing all our sightseeing we went to the car and drove in the direction of Los Angeles.

This time around, our room was pirate themed. As soon as we entered, the kids started to argue who gets which bed, and after that, taking the time to study the instructions on how to unlock the safe, they set off to find and count the items to get the code. Inside the safe, candy, legos and a map of the park awaited them.

We hoped that August would bring warm weather to the coast, and we’d be able to try all the water attractions we had missed out on. Alas, like in June 2013, luck just wasn’t on our side. It only warmed up to 70 degrees after lunch, but the chilly wind doused all desire to get wet.

Ignoring this, the younger kids gathered up their swimming gear and spent quite some time in the waterpark. First they splashed around in the wave pool, then floated in the endless river, before running back to our room wrapped in towels, and really wanting to warm up.DAD_0723 DAD_0733

The park opened a new ride, Ninjago themed, so that was our first destination. Later we just walked around, occasionally stopping to ride on the carousel, or to look at the miniland. The kids kept exclaiming: Oh, look, we’ve seen that! And we’ve been there!MOM_1174 DAD_0692 MOM_1175 MOM_1181 MOM_1182 MOM_1183 MOM_1186 MOM_1199 DAD_0676 DAD_0674 DAD_0693 MOM_1193 DAD_0696 DAD_0701 MOM_1202 MOM_1203 MOM_1204 MOM_1207-Pano MOM_1208 MOM_1209 MOM_1211 MOM_1212 MOM_1215 MOM_1216 MOM_1224 DAD_0767 DAD_0768 DAD_0769 DAD_0770

Time flies when you’re having fun, and we almost didn’t notice when our Legoland adventure came to a close and our vacation was almost over. It was time to return home, to our furry, white fuzzball.DAD_0807 DAD_0809 DAD_0815
