I had seen Lego Land in the Grapevine Mills Mall before, and was curious to see what it was all about. I had also talked to another mom at Maddie's gymnastics that took her kids and they had a great time.
When we got there, we first walked through a small enclosed space where Dr. Brick-a-Brack explained how the Lego's are made. Then we rode a short ride were we had to save a Lego princess using our laser guns to defeat the bad guys. Points were accruing as we shot the bad guys and I had the most points by the end. :) (in comparison to Brian.)
After that, we walked around and found other things to do. There was a 15min 4D animation video, A miniature Lego Land, an indoor play place for very small kids and big kids. There was also a ride that went in circles simultaneously going up and down. But it was very slow, and I think that if Maddie had been in a better mood she would have enjoyed the ride. But for some reason the entire time we were there, she was pouty and cranky. There were Lego building stations everywhere and her favorite was the Lego Go-Carts. She did this twice and the first time she didn't even make it all around the track. This was the first time she had been on a ride all by herself and were she was in total control. The cars were just like power wheels and she was barely tall enough to ride it, but we went on in anyways. The second time she seemed to get the hang of it and made it all the way around just in time. She was excited about that.
We all had fun. I know Maddie had fun too, even though at some points she chose not to display it.
When we were done at Lego Land, and since we were in Grapevine, we decided to go ahead and head off to Fort Worth to meet my parents, Corey, Ashlee and Michael who had come into town for Family week at TCU. They had been at the TCU game and were meeting us for diner at Jo-T's. Brian and I were not planning on going, since its a long drive just to go have dinner, BUT since we were already half way there, we joined them. Since we had a change of plans, we decided to make that my dad's birthday celebration since his birthday was Sunday. I'm glad we decided go to, the times that my whole family will be together will probably be fewer and farther in between after all of us are married.
It wound up being a busy, but a fun day. Maybe next weekend will be our big and final date night before Reese joins us.
Miniature Land- Rangers Ballpark
South Fork Ranch. Its funny to see a monument like this that I could walk to from my house.
I took some pictures with my new phone to try it out. They were in line for one of the rides.
She was in tears by the end of this ride. Sometimes getting her to try new things back fires.
The Go-Carts.
