Our family loves Legos. As children, both Jake and I spent a lot of time playing with those little blocks. In college, I managed to hunt down a jackpot of Legos at a yard sale and threw Jake a 'Lego' party for one of his birthdays. Yes, I know, that sounds quite dorky... but it was fun! And now that we have our own children they are constantly playing with Legos. A lot. So when I heard about Legoland Florida, I wanted to take the kids but the ticket prices are quite high. However, a few months ago I got an email tip from another homeschooler that Legoland offers Homeschool Days, when homeschooling families can take advantage of regular school field trip prices. I was SO thrilled! So we planned a trip with our good friends, and spent a whole day at Legoland.
I managed to escape this ride, but Jameson didn't. He's a great dad.
Little Miss Shiloh had the best deal. She got to relax and get pushed around... not a bad way to travel!
We managed to get one group shot with all 7 children, although you can barely see Shiloh peeking from the stroller.
The Star Wars section of Legoland was probably our favorite. There were these life-sized figures, but there was also scene after scene from the movies all built out of Legos.
They also had a lot of famous landmarks, many with moving pieces.
We saw a show with Captain BrickBeard and it was entertaining. My favorite part were these Lego soldiers dancing around.
I can't remember which character this was.
This dinosaur was rather amazing.
We filled the rest of the day with roller coasters, rides, and a 4-D movie. It was a long day but the children were so good. No meltdowns and overall great attitudes. We love spending time with our friends, Kristin and Jameson & their children. Our boys are so fond of Gideon and Ezekiel that Will thought they were our cousins. Friends that are as close as family - those are the best.
