LEGOLAND!!!

After having arrived last night in Windsor and having had to endure the grown-ups having a few too many glasses of wine shall we say, we were up and ready and raring to go to Legoland! Auntie Sue lives about a mile from the place so we took a taxi and after the brief monsoon passed, we were on our way round all the exciting things to see & do!


We started off walking round mini town; an amazing collection of major city landmarks all beautifully rendered in Lego(TM). Incredible scenes, and I'm certain Daddy was almost crying with joy when he saw not only the original Wembley, but also the Angel of the North. Done in Lego.






After that quick tour of the world, we headed to Fire Rescue where we split into teams and had to drive a fire engine to a burning building before directing a hose at the flames. It wasn't a real burning building, but it was great fun - Lori, Sue & Lucas' team won but it was the taking part that counted.




We went on loads of rides after that; Viking River Splash, where we careered down in lots of fast water in a round boat. We got soaked but we didn't mind, although Daddy was lucky to cling on to his iPhone as the boat bumped and rattled along its route!!



Later we saw a fantastic acrobatic display called Pirates of Skeleton Bay which featured a battle with some pirates for the golden key which opened the treasure chest. There were people falling from the big lighthouse, acrobats and a big explosion. It was brilliant! I even had my picture taken with the main pirate lady who was protecting the treasure! 


Later we went on Pirate Falls where we were in a small boat which went round a scary river before plunging really fast into the water! We got our picture taken for that one and had it put on to a wall of Lego! Lovely momento of the day!


Later I did some driving and even got my Lego driving licence! At my age! The humanity.


Later we took in a great 4D Lego movie before heading on to the scary Spinning Spider ride! Mummy was really scared of it spinning to fast, as well she might since there was a huge Lego spider above her head!




We went in a submarine to see lots of fish through the windows which was amazing, although Lori was a bit scared. Lori, don't tell anyone but it didn't really go underwater :) and we had a great photo taken where we poked our heads through a picture, and Lori and I did some panning for gold. We each won a cool Lego medal for our efforts! All in all, a truly magnificent day and we can't thanks Auntie Sue enough for the wonderful treat. It was great to see Auntie Sue & Lucas & we hope to see them at half term in October where we can take them on some cool adventures! x
