Lego Land, Deutschland

We took an overnight trip with the Green's to Lego Land. The kids were so excited they could hardly contain themselves!
When woke up Tuesday morning and drove straight to the park. The weather was a little iffy, but being in Germany we just thought we would tough out the rainy weather. Thankfully it cleared up and ended up being quite hot (well low 80's...that's hot for us) which made it a perfect park day.
It was amazing to see all the things they made out of legos! (The pictures of the sights below are all made out of legos.) The kids really enjoyed the rides. I was concerned that Grace wouldn't have much to do in her age group, but they really accomodate the rides for the little ones. Jackson rode his first roller coaster with me which he chose to sit right in front. He wasn't a big fan of it, but was a good sport about the whole thing. He went on a different one with Jason that wasn't as big and liked that one better.
After 7 + hours at the park we left when it closed and headed out to dinner. We ate at a Greek restaurant that ended up being the best food we have had in a long time!
The next day we drove to Ulm to see the gothic cathedral. Unfortunately the pictures didn't turn out good because I had my small camera. It was a beautiful cathedral with such ornate designs.
We will definitely go back to Lego Land. The kids and adults had a great time!

This is Jackson's first roller coaster. I loved it!
On the roller coaster before we took off. I was trying to get Jackson to look at the camera, but I think he was just nervous.
Mason, Willow and Jackson
This is the roller coaster that Jackson loved. Just his style.
This dragon sprayed water from his nostrils to cool off anyone who got in it's path.
Jason's "nutritious" snack break.
Beer...ice cream...and pommes frites (french fries)
I love this shot of AJ. He loves Darth Vader.
One of the Grace friendly rides. She loved being able to row the boat herself.
The Munich soccer team stadium...all made out of legos. Amazing!
This was neat to see because we had just been to Venice. They made it look so realistic.

The kids went on this one a couple of times. They would have water fights with the people on the sidewalk and other boats. They were soaked when the got off.
The park had a special exhibit with Star Wars. This one took 143 hours to complete.
Remember this scene from the movie? There was also a button to push that made the aliens play their instruments on the stage. The detail in this was so amazing to see.
