very fascinating things about Legoland

they let Volvo drivers park for free - which just irks me before i ever set foot outside the car :|

but it gets better, because you can park right outside the gates - no tram ride or 1.5 mile walk required (it's a good thing!)

they don't let you take cameras on rides "for safety reasons", but really because they want you to buy their crappy $10 ride pictures :|

oh and the rides are really really really lame - like, ridiculously lame! they make Disneyland look like Knotts Berry Farm! and they make Knotts Berry Farm look like Magic Mountain!!

one thing to love about Legoland - they don't look inside your purse (which is great for terrorists and PB&J smugglers) and the restroom doors go all the way to the floor so no-one can move their head side to side fast so they can see you :)

everyone under 3 is magnetically drawn to hug my legs instead of their mother's :|

a wave of relief rushed over me today, while consoling a mom in mid-nervous-breakdown, about how frustrating and stressful and just plain awful a day at a theme park can be (horray!! i am normal!!! well kind of... there are two of us, at least! :)

they actually have a wood-fired pizzeria :| but it took the 107 year old cashier sooooo long to serve us after explaining to each and every customer in the line how to save 35 cents by swapping the fountain drinks for bottled drinks, it was congealed and cold by the time we ate it :| but i am sure it was just great warm ;)

the pools all seem to be no more than 2 feet 6 inches deep - as Danny said, they are perfect if you want to pretend to be a penguin (maybe that is what they were thinking...)

there is not one single solitary place to sit in the water park - every single chair is 'reserved' with a towel :| and if you do happen to get lucky and find a chair, it isn't a lovely soft reclining lounger thingie, noooo - it's a plastic lawn chair with no foot rest :| not like Las Vegas at all............

this was our third time at Legoland and i am thinking it will never grow on me :| and that's OK :) because i much prefer Knotts Berry Farm ;)

pictures of our fabulous day:
yes i took my camera on the rides - nobody puts my camera in the corner :|

Lego AND Star Wars :| (just TOO much fun!!!)

Aaron had to point at Sam so we don't confuse him with Chewbacca :)

"maybe we're missing something really fun....?" they wondered

fun fact: for the price of one day at Legoland, a family of four could vacation in Las Vegas for 5 days (and that includes daily resort fee!)

boy scouts finally paid off - they knew how to build perfect racing cars :)


practicing for his Wipeout audition - he won the race!



off to bed - back tomorrow post surgery :| xoxox
