Legoland was Little Man’s destination of choice. Even as he played a perfect Farmer Boy in North Dakota, he’d suddenly blurt out, “The day after tomorrow is Legoland!!” We were all excited about the indoor roller coaster, too. As it turned out Legoland was smaller than we’d imagined, and the Nickelodian Adventure Park blew us away. Who knew there could be so many thrilling roller coasters in the middle of a mall? The entire experience is “Legoland” to them.
In the Lego shop we got some souvenirs for our neighbors and ourselves. Tomcat chose a Princess Leia slave girl key-chain for me (irony duly noted if you read the previous post). I chose a Death Star luggage charm for him. I also got a rubber Lego cake pan with a promise to make a cake the minute we return home. Niece got the cutest R2D2 key-chain. Doodle surprised us all by choosing a pink Lego. Little Man chose 2 little kits (a space ship and a street sweeper) and Peanut wanted a gold Lego – free with a $75 purchase. I was shocked to find we surpassed that number with no effort at all! Darn tourist traps!
We were faced with incredulous stares as my kids asked who such and such characters were. They know who Dora is because we have a couple of books but that’s about it! Doodle was too short to go on the roller coasters, so while the others went, I took her to some little rides. We all met up afterwards and did the Log Ride together – clearly the best one out there. It was SO much fun. We agreed every one could choose one more ride before leaving for Wisconsin. Little Man and I went on the roller coaster he’d already been on, and I was thoroughly sick afterwards. Man, I’m getting old! Doodle took her dad on her favorite hot air balloon ride. And Niece and Peanut went on a ride that scared my baby girl to death.
