Laguna Beach - Day 3 (Legoland) - Part 2 of 3

We had intended to go on this roller coaster type ride where people pedaled to move along and seemed to cover a vast area of the park, but by the time we got there people said the line was around an hour and a half.  With our two kids, or any for that matter, that was WAY too much of a commitment for a single ride.  Luckly, this ride was right there and had very little ride.  You get strapped into these seats and then hold onto a climbing rope between you.  When you pull down the seats move up and when you let it go they drop down.  The kids loved this ride and I think we went on it like three or four times.

Gavin especially got a kick out of doing all the work himself without one of us parents helping him out.

One of the favorite rides we had heard about from other people was the Driving School rides.  If you are tall enough, which Gage was not to his thorough disappointment, they have this fairly large paved area where kids go sit in Lego go-karts and then drive around in what is set up like a little city area.  I think there were 20-30 kids worth of cars going around at the same time.  They had traffic signals, stop signs, and even lanes to follow.  This was probably one of the highlights for Gavin on the day.

This also proved to be one of the lowlights of the day for Gage.  He was just barely too short so he was relegated to the younger kids driving school which consisted of a small paved doughnut track with some of the slowest small go-karts you have ever seen.  He did his best to show us his displeasure by pretending to sleep on the ride and then later giving us a big thumbs down when we tried to ask how he was doing.  We couldn't help but laugh at his antics, but it was quite a bummer he wasn't able to take part in the older kids' version of the driving school.
