I have to be honest, I have a lot of fun on these trips trying to think of fun activities that the boys will love. I wanted to take them to Legoland last time we were in town, but I wasn't sure Henry would be old enough to enjoy it, but this year, I figured I would offer them the option and see what they thought...

Ha - they didn't even think about it before they got super excited! Just like the Perot, it was pretty crowded, but they didn't seem to mind! The first building table we got to inside the door, they were ready to start constructing and destructing!

They had one exhibit hall with scenes from around the city - Thomas was entranced by the airport display. The windows in the terminal had a scrolling scene of passengers so it looked like people walking by - he thought it was too neat.

Amongst the city-scapes were random scenes to find. I think my favorite was the skateboard accident one. I sent Matt and photo about how wearing your helmet is always important (the Lego guy didn't have one!). Also, I loved the miniature Lego American and Texas flags!

There were even a few Lego themed rides. The boys were super pumped about this wizard themed one. It would go in a circle and to get it to go up in the air, you had to pedal. So I basically had to pedal for the both of us because Henry's feet couldn't even reach the pedals... Thomas helped Nonni out a teensy bit, but we both got a workout in!

Then there were race cars to build and race against other people!

And a big Star Wars exhibit with a very huggable R2-D2!

But the part they had been most excited about? The splash park! Ever since we tried it out at the zoo last year, they had been talking about how fun splash parks are. We don't have many (any?) in Alaska, so this was their first chance to enjoy one again. And they had a blast! It took forever to pry them away from the jets of water and giant foam Lego blocks, but their hunger finally won out once I mentioned the magic words: "Chick-fil-A" :)
