Legoland

While we were in Orlando, we had a chance to go to Legoland with our cousins. We were very fortunate to get military tickets for Jeff's stepbrother Carey, so it made it much more affordable. It was a great park for our kids. Ellie could not do much of anything, but Carson and Macie were the perfect size. They both loved the roller coasters.

As you enter, this lego man greeted us.

Some of the rides are left overs from Cypress Gardens. Legoland is on the old property. The merry go round is one of the leftovers.

I love it when pictures turn out great in spite on my little skill.

One of the kids favorite rides was the cars. They actually get to drive. They are not on a track. There are 2 different tracks. One is for smaller kids. (Macie and Jake)

And one is for bigger kids

One of the really neat parts of the park is the cities built out of legos. This is just a couple shots.

This last picture is not from legoland. I posted it on facebook a couple weeks ago, but I had to post it here. This is what happens when Macie and her buddy Addison are left alone!

The kids love being with their cousins. We don't see them often enough. We got a bonus day at Legoland with all of them!
