Laguna Beach - Day 3 (Legoland) - Part 1 of 3

On our third day of vacation, we decided to head about an hour south of Laguna Beach to Legoland.  The kids were super excited, as this was one of the planned highlights for the trip.  Unfortunately, our drive was filled with tears and almost constant fighting between our two kids.  I am not quite sure how many times we heard, "He's looking out my window!" and "He's touching me!", but it was far too many.  By the time we arrived, Gavin was flopping on the ground and both kids were resisting any sun screen.  It was truly a sad start to what was supposed to be a fun day.  Attitudes were so sour that we didn't even get any pre-entry pictures of the place.  These guys even moped around until finally we got on our first ride.  Thankfully, the undeniable fun associated with amusement rides was enough to finally draw out some smiles on these guys.  This first ride was this Lego cup ride that spins around in circles round and round.

The mood was further enhanced by this giant Lego spider.  Legoland did a pretty good job about creating so many different little Lego features alongside the rides all the way through the park.

We mapped out our plan to weave through the place from ride to ride and one of the places we were sure to hit was this water ride.  Mom volunteered to stand in line with the kids to take them on the ride, while I (Brent) kept our stuff dry and safe.  I think she only later realized how wet this ride actually makes you, as she started witnessing the people exiting the ride.  The one bummer was that the line proved to be fairly lengthy because the ride was shared with another line coming from Legoland waterpark side.  The above pictures shows these guys right before they hit the water.  Both kids look like they are holding on for dear life.  Although the aftermath pictures didn't quite make the cut, trust me when I say that these guys could not have been more wet if they had just jumped straight into the pool.

Around mid-day we circled back around near the front of the park again and these giant Lego creations even had a water hose spraying across the lake from a Lego guy that was riding a dinosaur.  Everyone was pretty happy and excited to keep going at this point.
