Legoland

We've been talking about taking Fox to Legoland for what seems like a year and when he recently really developed a strong interest in legos, we decided that now would be the best time to do it, before we have a baby that makes traveling a little bit more challenging. 

We stayed at the Legoland hotel in a pirate suite and this was by far the coolest hotel I've ever been in. The room was themed from top to bottom, they had a treasure chest in there where they delivered free sets of legos for Fox every single day, which he loved of course. The hotel itself was amazing, they had lego tables for the kids everywhere, a huge lego pirate ship play structure in the lobby and you could trade your lego figurines with any staff member. I loved the breakfast there every morning and we also had dinner at their new castle hotel next door twice while we were there and the food was awesome there as well. 

The best part for everyone was the elevator though. You got in and there was really boring elevator music playing, but once the doors closed, it transformed into a disco, complete with dance music, lights and a disco ball. It was so fun! 

Fox loves bunkbeds and was so excited to sleep in one for the first time, but when it came to it, he got too scared and ended up sleeping with us instead. 

They had these big lego figurines all throughout the hotel. Seriously, we loved it there so much! We have stayed at multiple Disney hotels before, but this was way better!

This is their brand new Castle Hotel, that they had just opened a week prior to our visit. They had a slide in there for the kids to use to go from the first level to the bottom level, instead of using the stairs. 

We invited Fox's grandparents to join us on this trip and we were all so happy that they could make it.

Here comes the "Wild Bunch"

He looks so serious in this picture, but he actually loved this ride, because he could steer this car all by himself.

Every ride they had there had a sign that pregnant people shouldn't ride it, which was very surprising, because at Disneyland I could ride almost all of the kids rides. I didn't really understand their reasoning (maybe besides the fear that they would get sued) because these little boats were so slow and there was no reason, why I wouldn't be able to ride it. 

Grandpa and Fox got eaten by this shark

The weather was perfect that day and since we went on a Friday, the crowds weren't too bad and we didn't have to wait more than 15 minutes in line for a ride.

Fox and I were in line for this helicopter ride and I noticed another same sex couple with two kids that were Fox's age in front of us. We haven't been around any other same sex families with Fox, so I pointed it out to him and whispered that those two boys also had two mommies, just like him. To which he starts declaring VERY loudly: "I don't have two Mommies, I have a Mommy and a Mama!" I was cracking up...this kid always makes sure everyone uses the right terms for us.

This was the highlight of Katie's day: Meeting Lego Batman! Fox is not a fan of any kind of characters at theme parks, but he was willing to take a picture if he didn't have to do it by himself.

And this must have been Grandpa's favorite ride. Those boats were wild and every once in a while a water cannon shot out at them.

Their Miniland USA was amazing! 

They closed surprisingly early (at 5pm) and we could've easily spent two days there, but we already had plans for the next day. It was a super fun day and I'm so glad we were able to experience it with Fox.
