Legoland

Friday after leaving Nuremberg we drove down to a little town called Burgau which is just 15 minutes from Gunzburg. In Gunzburg there is ...

LEGOLAND!

We wanted to surprise Kason by taking him there so we didn't tell him what we were doing down there. We stayed at the Hotel Pension Futterknecht Friday night and it was adorable. The breakfast the next morning was delicious. I think we are going to have a hard time adjusting back to American breakfast's in the states! 

This is our hotel front. Isn't it adorable? It was perfect for being in the German countryside. I love the old dresser with the flowers planted inside. So charming! 

This hotel was great, we had our own balcony and they catered to families with young kids BIG time. They had this little playground plus other little things to make it more convenient to travel with kids. SO stinkin' nice! 

On the way to Legoland we had Kason cover his eyes so we could surprise him. We carried him to the front entrance and then told him he could open his eyes. His reaction was horrible and it took him about 30 seconds to comprehend the reality of where we were. After that ... he was excited. 

In Legoland they have their "mini" cities that are ALL built out of Lego's. They are really impressive. Most things were from Germany with a few other cities in Europe. I guess we don't need to tour as much of Europe as we originally thought since we've already seen them! 

I wish I could remember what city this was ... maybe Munich? 

Here is the replica of the Allianz Arena in Munich where they play futbol. This was cool ... it was filled  with thousands of little lego people. Pretty impressive. 

And, the famous Neuschwanstein Castle ... 

This Legoland has a Star Wars section where they recreated scenes from every Star Wars movie ... it was really cool! Plus, it wouldn't be complete without these guys: 

pretty sure Kason has some jedi powers ... all he needs is a cloak and his own light saber! 

Thankfully most of the rides there were geared towards the little people so, Kason got to ride mostly everything that was there. 

This was right after the water ride, Brad & Kason sat in the back, hoping they would get less wet than the front. Well, they actually ended up getting even MORE wet in the back. (hehe ... ah the irony!) 

I am pretty sure Brad's face says it all ... "seriously woman, stop taking pictures of me!" HA! I sure like him a whole lot! 

Kason climbed up to take a picture with the shark and he wanted to act like he dead ... in case you didn't get that from the pose. 

This fountain was really cool ... it was playing music and then they had little squares in front of each instrument and you could step on them to activate the fountain on that instrument. It was entertaining! 

And this ... was just hilarious. We laughed pretty hard when we saw it. Good times in Legoland. 

That was our day! We had a blast and we were all worn out at the end of the day but, it was well worth it. I don't think we'll ever be too old for Lego's!
