LegoLand Pictures part 2
























LegoLand has a huge terraced area with Legos buildings of all the Star Wars movies in fantastic detail that we went back to several times. The Park in interspaced with theaters that have really excellant shows, I have included 2 pictures of the "Fire Trainees" show, one from the back looking down towards the stage & one looking up at Grandpa, Audrey, Avery and Rob watching the show.

There is a building where you can go and build Lego Minis, they have all the pieces, and pay for them by the pound ( one mini in a package sells for $3.99, at the park it was $3 a pound ). They have a Pirate Ride Adventure where you shoot giant squirt guns at other ships, they squirt at you - and - the audience waiting in line can shoot big water guns at you too!
And - for Grandma information - clean bathrooms, lots of water fountains and benches under shady trees.

Oh, Something we had never seen before - when you are ready to leave the water park they have these big closets that families stand in that "Blow Dry" people.

And Grandpa, Rob and the kids went on a REAL aircraft carrier.

LegoLand is Paradise Part 1
























The 2nd week in July Rob, Avery & Audrey took Grandpa & Grandma to LegoLand / San Diego. I have always wanted to go there. We had a really great time. Would you believe - those silly people in San Diego were complaining because it got into the high 80's everyday.

We went to the ocean, jumped in the waves & built sand castles. We went to Sea World and got splashed at the big tanks in the SeaLife show by whales and dolphins ( but Rob had been prepared & we had raincoats on ) !!! We went to the big LegoLand Water Park and Avery & Audrey loved the water slides.

And LegoLand itself - totally incredible. They have everything from tot rides to kids adventures to family rafts on a wild river to a teenage heaven huge computer center to test the latest Lego Games. My favorite ride was the Mummys Tomb. I had the highest score for shooting scarabs (no matter what Grandpa says). Turns out Avery & Audrey like roller coasters. And that giant tree house with the secret treasure chest to hunt for - awesome.
