Legoland California! part 2

We decided to take a day off from the beach and sneak in a family trip to Legoland!
 

 
This was our first trip here and we were slightly underwhelmed. We had heard such good things about it so we probably set our expectations too high. I actually had one friend who totally hit the nail on the head and told us before we went that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. She was right! If we lived nearby and could just pop in every now and then it would be great. However, I would never make this a destination for a vacation or anything. I think we are just a Disney family. Disney is loved by our entire family, including adults, but I am glad we gave Legoland a shot! It was a perfect getaway from our beach vacation just for the day.
That being said, we DID have tons of fun!!

Nate and Neve on the boat ride.



Aaron took the kids on this roller coaster by himself....I told him not to put Nate alone!! AHHHH!!! Mama was freaking out watching this.

 
 
10 and 2 completely. Neve was a VERY serious driver. So funny.
 
 
 

 
Separated at birth.
 
 
We made it through afternoon but were dripping with sweat so we decided to check out the adjacent (air conditioned!) aquarium.



 
We headed back to the beach that evening and got stuck in horrible traffic. Aaron and I were both reminded of why we moved OUT of California and will never live there again!! Blahh!!
We made it back in time to sneak in some night swimming at the pool. It was FREEZING so Nate refused to go in (smart boy) but Neve and I braved the cold water for a swim.

 
Next up-Back to the beach! Stay tuned...
