Legoland

Before we move to Colorado, we decided to take a trip to Legoland in Grapevine which just opened up a couple weeks ago. We thought we were being smart by skipping school and avoiding the weekend rush, but we didn't avoid school field trips...oh well, we had SO much fun regardless. We met our good friends Jacob, Emma, and their mom Tamara and had a great time with them. Here we are at the front of Legoland.

They had AMAZING displays of legos - this one was coming out of the ceiling and his arms moved...the kids were in awe at this point...

We went through a small tour of how they make legos and Caleb was chosen to turn the wheel to get the painting machine going. Then we went on the Kingdom Quest ride where we were able to shoot at targets and get a score, so you can understand why there are no pictures from that....being the competitive person that I am, I couldn't take pictures while trying to beat my young children....okay, just my husband :)

We then went into this HUGE area where there were several stations the kids could run around to and play with legos or there was a very large play area they could play in too. This area was where they would build cars and race them down the slopes.

There was another ride that we waited in line for and I had to take this picture...

the ride...you had to pedal to go higher...needless to say, Josh and I both had to pedal pretty hard because Chloe and Keira were not tall enough to pedal...

Probably the most amazing lego display here was the city of Dallas...here we have the Cowboy stadium.....some of them were interactive.

The skline....

We then ventured into a 4D cinema where they showed a movie...I guess I didn't really know what 4D was, but I do now....we got rained on, snowed on, and had wind blown in our faces. It was super cool. The kids loved it.

They had this princess room where this little princess could have stayed all day.

Another place they had was for the littler kids, so the girls spent some time here too.

Another ride for Keira

After all the fun, we went through the shop (you know they conveniently put the shop between the exit of legoland and the exit of the mall...) and got a little souvenier...We had a blast!
