Legoland and SeaWorld Trip!

 We are so thankful to get to go to Legoland again this year. Our plan was to go last year but because of Covid-19, the theme park was closed. It was nice to get to go this year and an extra year of growth allowed all three kids to do more rides than they would have been able to the year before. 

We stayed at the Legoland Castle Hotel this stay which is right outside of Legoland and has a large breakfast buffet included. Plus they have many activities for the kids to do like meeting Lego characters, stretching in the morning, and trivia. 

On Monday morning, we hit up Legoland for our first full day! Since we were staying at a Legoland hotel, we got to go into the park an hour before it officially opens and could ride about 6 rides. 

The carousel was Kade's favorite

This was my favorite!

This was one of Ember and Reece's favorite. And they were so brave! 

Day 2 (Reece's birthday!) we went to SeaWorld! We didn't get to do everything in our one way but what we did do was a lot of fun! 

This was a pretty BIG roller coaster that Ember was just tall enough to do. She loved it and did it multiple times with us! 

These little cleaner fish were one of the highlights of our day. They would immediately swim over to your hand or finger when you put your hand in the water and start eating off dry skin and particles. It was VERY ticklish. 

We got to meet Elmo!! 

The infamous orca show! It is just as amazing as an adult as I remember it being back as a kid. They are definitely a magnificent part of God's creation.

Kade got some good quality time with these fish and sting rays since he couldn't go on the Journey to Atlantis ride that was one of the kids favorites. 

Turtles!

Our last full day was spent at Legoland again! We definitely got to do everything that we wanted here multiple times! 

Reece got to wear his new Ninjago shirt he got for his birthday and got a birthday pin.

The Sealife Aquarium was included with our Legoland tickets so we spent about an hour going through it.

This ride on its own didn't get you too wet but there was the option for bystanders to shoot guns at you from the side and totally soak you! Dustin and the kids got hit hard one time! 

We got to watch a few short 4D Lego movies! Kade was hilarious with his glasses.

We had such a great trip! The weather was absolutely perfect! There were NO crowds at either park and the kids had cheerful and thankful hearts overall. It was a great trip and we are hoping we can go back one more time in the next few years. Since coming home, Kade says something along the lines of  "On Friday, can we go to Legoland?" every other day or so! So thankful for the memories we could make as a family!
