Trip to Cali: Legoland Day 1

It has taken me way too long to get these up! Sorry!

After our arrival on Sunday evening our plan was to spend the next day at Legoland. Monday morning dawned bright and beautiful, and we were all pretty excited to get there.

Walking up to Legoland for our first day...

 I started taking pictures right away. First we saw Ninjago world...

Aric and Alex with Jay from Ninjago

 We were excited to see all the cool LEGO structures.

Next up was Zane...

Alex with Zane from Ninjago

Aric with Zane from Ninjago

Our 2nd ride of the 1st day was the bionicle tea cups. I can't remember what the exact name of the ride is, but that's what it was like.

More cool LEGO structures...

Alex decided he wanted to do the frog jump ride:

As we made our way through we came to the Knights and Castles area. We found a LEGO Nexo Knight guy...

 This was a fun "boat school" ride...

April and Alex together.

Aric

Aaron

 Next up was driving school...

And firefighting...

Some cool LEGO wolves running in a pack...

 A fun character meet and greet with a hot dog minifig...

At Legoland they have minifigure trading all throughout the park. If you find a worker who has minifigs to trade, and you have a minifig that you want to trade you can do so. Aric traded for this guy the first day. This became a favorite activity all three days at the park.

We went to the "girl" part of Legoland, Friends. Alex was totally all for riding the carousel there. Aric was not so much. 

He also enjoyed a kiddie train ride as well...

I spied this tree with what looks like branches going down to to the ground to make more roots. I thought it was really interesting. I want to look up more about it.

As part of a silly joke the boys sat with the friends Lego characters...

Riding the water jet things. Can't remember what they are called...

The Taj "masmall"...

 LEGO mount rushmore...

We made it back around to Ninjago area by the afternoon, so more pictures with Ninjago creatures...

Lego Miniland:

All the buildings and scenes made out of LEGOs were pretty cool.

A scene from Star Wars, I believe...

Wookie from StarWars...

A storybook ride. Snow White...

That's all the pictures from Day 1. I believe we had dinner at In-n-Out and then went back to the hotel to get ready for Day 2 with the cousins.
