I was a little apprehensive about taking Ellie to LEGOLAND. Frankly, I thought the whole idea about a Lego theme park was kind of cheesy. Boy was I wrong. Honestly, I think this was the most fun that Ellie and I had the entire week. This place is unreal!! I have never seen such works of art with Lego’s in my life. There was everything from fairytale theme statues, kid area water fountains, and even city skylines made from Lego’s. The park also had a ton of rides. Although Ellie is only 34 inches tall, we were still able to ride at least 15 different rides. There weren’t too many shows to see but the rides alone kept you busy. After every ride Ellie would say “more ride—more ride”. She is fearless!
By early afternoon it started to get a little warm (80 degrees) so we headed for the splash zone area to cool off. Ellie had so much fun running around getting wet and I had even more fun watching her enjoy herself. My favorite was when she would bend down and put her face in the water sprinkler anticipating the water to come up from the fountain. The first time she got splashed she jumped up and was a little bit started but after that she was an expert. She would laugh hysterically when the water would surprise her. You would think that after 10 times of getting splashed it would get old but nope…we stayed in the park for about an hour and that was her favorite. All I could do was laugh with her as she laughed because she got splashed. It was also really fun to see her interact with other kids that she had never seen before. She made some many friends in that little water park. The innocence of the kiddos playing was so much fun to experience.
Well, our day at LEGOLAND had almost come to an end. We rode lots of rides, watched a 4-D Lego movie, got wet in the splash park, and played in the kidde playground so it was time to head home. Okay, maybe after a late night greasy burger at Ruby’s Diner. YUMMY!! Then after only 5 minutes in the car, Ellie was passed out and went to sleep.
