Legoland

We decided on Legoland this year because Rich pointed out that we had a very small window in which all the boys would interested in Legos.  And so on Friday morning we headed up the road a few miles and started out on our adventure.

 We got there before the rides opened and had plenty of time to wander around admiring all the amazing Lego creations.

 We even found a little piece of our new home.

 The great thing I discovered about Legoland is that it's small enough to get through the majority in one day.  Also, it is geared to younger kids which meant that William, James, and Alexander were able to ride on every single ride.  And even Henry could ride on most!  It made for a great experience (no tears like those shed at Star Tours!!)

This pirate ship ride was fun but Henry wasn't fond of getting sprayed and some guy along the edge kept spraying everyone!  Thankfully he didn't get us much more once he saw that Henry was sad.

Probably the smallest log ride I've ever been on... but the boys liked it.

This was the first ride that Henry couldn't go on... and he wasn't very happy about it.  Every time a horse came around he would tell me, "my horse!"

The three big boys went on several roller coasters during the day.  They had a great time!

 A few of the rides had Lego tables set up so that the kids could play with Legos while the parents stood in line.  It was a good idea... too bad they didn't have that option on most of the rides!

We really did have a great day!

 The boys were great and walking around and didn't complain about being to tired to walk.

 Henry even got some good one-on-one time with Rich and I while the other of us was taking the boys on big rides.  He even took a little nap!

What we were most impressed with at the end of the day is that none of the boys asked us to buy anything for them all day!

I guess you could say that we had an ideal amusement park experience.  What good boys we have!

By the end of the day we were all worn out and ready to rest our feet and heads for a good night's rest.

It was a great way to wrap up the year... and something we hope the boys remember for years to come!
