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...

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.

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.
