Legoland!

(Start two posts down at the beginning of our trip ;)

We spent our last day in San Diego at Legoland. This place was so much bigger and more impressive than I thought it would be! We took one look at the map and knew we were in for a packed, fun day.

I thought it would be cute to take a picture next to Lego mom. ;) She sure has an easy job!
Jacob was really interested in the map. He held it wherever we went, wanting to know where we were and where we were going.Jacob and Gavin digging for dinosaur fossils
Gavin could have spent the entire day squirting water at these lego animals!
Seriously... thank goodness Gavin was 36 inches. This was the height requirement for almost all of the rides!
Jacob wasn't so sure about this ride, holding on for dear life... however, Gavin was smiling from ear to ear! These lego cars were like go-carts and so fun to ride (once Jacob figured out how to step on the gas ;) He even got an official lego license to take home with him.
Gavin loved galloping through the forest on his horse. Giddy-up!
Half-way through the park, there was a pirate-themed area with a water park and waterslides. Jacob and Gavin got in their swim suits and ran around like crazy. If you were in the wrong place at the wrong time though, this entire bucket of water came down on you!
This was my favorite ride by far... especially since I couldn't go on the roller coasters. ;)
Our last stop was mini-land, where entire cities had been built out of legos. Adam and I took a picture outside of the Luxor, where we last stayed in Las Vegas.

New York City
The Sydney Opera House
Mount Rushmore
Who could forget Bob the Builder in legos?

Jacob went on a Dragon roller coaster with Adam and wasn't interested in any rides that appeared "roller-coasterish" afterwards. The funniest thing was when we asked him what he favorite part of Legoland was, he smiled in excitement and said, "The dragon roller coaster!" Who would've thought? It was a great day though... we only waited in one long line for a pirate ride. All of the other lines were ten minutes or less!

As for the airplane rides? They went really well, mostly because of this.
