California Vacation-Day 1(Lego Land)

Last week we headed to California for a little vacation.  We left very early Thursday morning, and headed straight to Lego Land.  We got there at about 10:30.  The kids got SO excited when they started seeing signs that we were just about there.
 
It was really cool, especially for Lego obsessed kids like ours.  I do think it would be better for older kids though.  Like 5-12 or somewhere around there.  The little ones don't have the patience for the long lines, and we weren't able to see a large percentage of the park, because we made our way pretty slowly.  I think their favorite part was getting to trade their little Lego Minifigures with employees around the park.  There were rides, 
and play areas..
 
 
Reed enjoyed riding/tandem napping with Colin in the Cassons' double stroller.
The second half of the day we spent at the water park part of Lego Land.  This was not the easiest few hours we've spent, and made us think twice about a Wet'n'Wild trip we've been considering.  Four kids, with only two of us to keep them safe in the water, not to mention all the lines...I'm not so sure about that anymore.  BUT we had fun, and Reed and I LOVED their version of the Lazy River.  We all went around 3 or 4 times, and I would've loved to just do that all day.  Reed sat happily in his little infant inner tube thing, and cried so hard when it ended the first time.  He'd been content, but we didn't realize how much he was liking it until we tried to take him out.  So back in line we went, and went around a few more times. 

When we finally were done, we headed to the gift shop for some souvenirs, and then got some tasty Italian food for dinner. 

Some people enjoyed it more than others.
 
Haha!  Not really, this was a short-lived meltdown.  If I remember right it was because I wanted to eat some of my ravioli too, rather than giving it ALL to her.

It was so nice out once it was evening, almost chilly!  I might have to move there, somehow.
