Legoland

Turns out there's more to this world than Disneyland.  So, last Saturday we got to head south to Legoland for the day, courtesy of my sister Amy who had purchased 2-day tickets when she went with her family and we got to come back for the second day for free! Thanks, Amy - we had a blast!

Libby and Daddy on our first ride.

Yep, she loved it!

Since Grammy held Lexi while the rest of us went on the ride, we got to do a baby-swap and Libby got a second turn with Grammy - how fun!

Our family on the mini-boats.

Attached to the park they also have this new SeaLife attraction that our tickets got us in to, as well.  It was really cool and had lots of places for you to climb "under the sea" for a different view of the animals.  This was a shark-tunnel, kinda like the one at Sea World.

Libby liked watching the stingrays swim by in this tank.  The rest of us felt very nostalgic thinking back on our trip to Stingray City and the Cayman Islands - oh, what I wouldn't give to go back!

This is another one of the "under the sea" tanks that Libby thought were super cool.

After our Sea Life hiatus, it was back to Legoland for more fun and rides.  We thought Uncle Mark would be pleased to see Libby taking after him.  She was a great little pilot!

Libby was just barely tall enough for this ride but we're glad she made it.

Uh-oh!  First planes, now boats - we're in trouble!  Especially since we did at least 2 full 360s during the short little course and we seemed to take twice as long to get through it as everyone else.  Hmmm...I wonder why!

One of the best things about Legoland is that while the parents wait in line for the rides, the kids get to play with Legos.  Building towers and racing cars down ramps is serious business - check out that concentration face!

And here we are closing down the place on our last ride of the night.  Thanks, Openshaws for a wonderful day at "the other park"!  We loved it!
