We took it slower on day four of the trip.  The kids thoroughly enjoyed their breakfasts at the hotel and this day was no exception. 

We took some pictures of the palm tree lined streets outside the hotel on our way out of town.

And then we headed down to Carlsbad to Legoland.  The kids loved it, but I was right about them liking the other parks more.  They’re favorite thing about Legoland was getting to see the studio where they made The Lego Movie. Since I didn’t even go in that one, and Rock doesn’t ever take pictures, I don’t have anything to show you.  But here are the other picture highlights from that day.

One of the “lands” in Legoland is “Miniland”.  It’s a Lego reproduction of many of the famous buildings in the world.  Very cool.

They did have a statue of Liberty out in the “harbor” but I couldn’t get a good shot. 

If you look closely you can even see Jefferson!

He really was happy to be here.

At every park we found some version of the tea cups!  Libby loved it!  Here are the Lego tea cups.

Believe it or not, she did meet a few girls at Legoland.

When I tried to get her to stand next to this guy who was twice as big as her, she wouldn’t do it.  Can’t say that I blame her.

Cade had decided by this point that he wanted to go on only the biggest, scariest rides.  So he and Rock went on the X Factor.  If you listen closely you can hear Rock holler as they drop.

While Rock and the boys went on another “dark, loud and scary” ride, Liberty and I rode these cute little airplanes.  She would giggle with glee every time they swooped around the corner.  We went on this ride 3 times in a row!

 
Christmas was in process at Legoland too.

Star Wars Lane

Levi and Liberty loved got their Legoland License.

Legoland closed at 5:00 that day, which was just perfect for us after our exhausting day at Disneyland the day before.  We went to dinner with Aunt Kathy and Uncle Carl at the Oceanside Pier.  Waaaaay out at the end of the pier is a Ruby’s Diner which is where we ate.  It was a fabulous place to end our day.  I only wish I’d thought to get pictures with Aunt K and Uncle C! 

 

This was the first time in Liberty’s memory to see the ocean.

As we walked out onto the pier further and further away from the sand, Levi would only walk on the middle of the planks.  I had to explain to him how thick the planks underneath him really were before he would rest easy and walk on the cracks.  And for those who are wondering if Reagan freaked out way up high out over the water, you’ll be glad to know he did not.  

Stay tuned for Day 5!
