day off from school...
headed down to legoland!
didn't get to leave until almost 10am (which was when they opened) so we didn't have the 'whole' day.
plus had to leave a little bit early to make sure we got home in time for brennan to get ready for practice...
bionicle blaster came first because we had to walk past it on the way to lost kingdom, which had NO line whatsoever. they both rode cargo ace (airplanes) and dash got on beetle bounce, his favorite, while brennan went on dune raiders (the slides) where dashiell joined him.
they rode 'the dragon' twice (once without me) and then we walked up some more. dashiell really wanted to go to wild woods (mini golf) but i nixed that idea. it never works out as well as i would hope for. they stopped into the hideaways (playground area) for a short while. i even climbed up to see them and take a couple of pictures of them.
dashiell went on captain cranky's challenge (swinging boat) while brennan went to wait in line for flight squadron (airplanes). dashiell joined him just in time.
they even went into adventurer's club (look for the hidden keys in the room) while i waited inside the brick bros. store. of course, we had to head into the lego factory tour, which leads into yet another store. ) O.o
they both went to the driving school and did very well - staying on the right side of the road (bren: 'why??') and stopping at all the stop signs and red lights.
onto kid power tower we went. finally!
dashiell went a second time alone - but then a little girl who was also alone joined him, while i timed them. 18sec and then 14sec to reach the top. cool!
we stopped to eat some sandwiches and i grabbed a hot dog. this was the only time they bickered (thank goodness only this once!) dashiell wasn't very hungry, so he just sat and waited...
i finally got to see 'the big test' show at the fun town stage! we always seem to miss it every time i think about trying to catch the show. while there, i noticed dashiell's finger needed a new bandaid (which i didn't have. boo!) so we headed up to the front of the park, where they sold them. we passed by fairy tale brook, which was closed last november for maintenance. they totally fixed it up! so we had to stop by there on the way back. we went through twice. yay!
we also rode coastersaurus. dashiell rode it maybe 3 more times alone (there was never really a line at all) while brennan headed to the dino dig with a bucket, brush, and shovel. dashiell joined him later and they unearthed some bones!
brennan had to ride the zebra car in safari trek before we went onto fairy tale brook. they took out sleeping beauty, added in cinderella, moved hansel and gretel, and added in snow while and the 7 dwarfs.
we (mainly I) finally rested for about 45 min in duplo village playtown (playground). we were supposed to go to the aquarium (but dashiell didn't want to go) and we eventually avoided the whole aquarium by going to the big shop, which was not at the big shop (it was being renovated) but at the build and test place (which was moved somewhere else).
yup, the whole place was being worked on in so many places!
they both got some small lego sets...they were good and traffic was bad getting home. =/
but it was a GREAT day and i had fun too!
