It took a day to recover from our day at Legoland, but we had a blast. They reopened the kid slide area at the water park, and both my sons got to play on it together. They have such a great relationship, especially for being 8 years apart.
Anti-depressants cause heat sensitivity, and I got a migraine at noon. When I started feeling sick, I bought sixteen ounces of powerade for five freaking dollars. Later we spent $21 on three small scoops of ice cream.
It’s one thing to overcharge, but to give such small portions for so much money should be a crime. There are no water fountains. It’s hot and humid and you can get a souvenir cup that’s refillable all day for $21. Maybe I should have gotten that instead of the ice cream…lol
I wanted to get a picture of Dylan on a roller coaster, since I failed to get one on his first ever roller coaster. I didn’t know what time we rode it, so I couldn’t get a picture at the desk in the front of the park, but this time I knew the boys were on one roller coaster between 5 and 5:15. I paid $26 for 4 wallet sized prints and a magnet, keychain set. I put them both together Friday morning. I had Aiden’s first rollercoaster picture on my keychain eight years ago.
We rode the Ancient Egyptian themed shooter ride. I got 5500 points. Aiden got 16000. Dylan didn’t even try. lol
Mostly, Dylan wanted to play in the water, and it was his birthday, so that’s what we did. We used sunscreen this time, and did not get burnt!
Dylan wore his waterproof go pro around his neck, and it fell off in the water slide play area. Luckily, he saw another kid playing with it and got it back.
I only took a few pictures. Mostly my phone stayed in the backpack. I didn’t take any in their new aquarium, Sea Life, because Dylan was taking them with his camera and I didn’t think to. There were not many people in there when we went, which made it extra nice. They have touchscreens to teach visitors about each creature. And the kids get to choose which color the jellyfish glow by pushing buttons.
It’s too bad Dylan isn’t into building with Legos lately. But also good, because he didn’t want any Lego sets.
Legoland is great for young kids, and my teen had a blast too. Maybe next time we’ll try one of the shows.
