Last year David wanted a bounce house for his birthday. This year he wanted to go to the new Legoland Discovery Center! We were all excited about this day. His birthday is still 2 weeks away, but since Grandparents wanted to go, too, this was the best day for everyone to be able to go.
Our first view of the building got the excitement going! And the first window display inside the mall was equally exciting! David
loves Lego Minifigures and was quite excited to see the large ones in the displays.
Rebekah was excited to see the candy display.
We pre-purchased our tickets, but we still have to wait in line with everyone else who had also prepaid.
David and MawMaw checked out the map while we were waiting to get in.
Giant Minifigure in the lobby area.
They let 30 at a time into this holding room while we waited to go in the first room. They had a video playing about a Minifigure in the factory getting squished into a brick. David was entertained. Then we went into the "Lego Factory" where a guy with a bad sound system explained how Legos are made. Everyone got a free Duplo block that had the Discovery Center logo on it as we were being herded into the first ride. I was not able to go on the ride with Baby Sarah, so I met them at the end.
When we finally got in, we were greeted by this giant cement truck made completely out of Legos.
The kids played briefly on the soft play scape that I didn't get any pictures of, then we headed into Mini Land... local landmarks made completely out of Legos. This was amazingly impressive!
DFW Airport
Dallas: Courthouse, Reunion Tower, other skyscrapers
The New Cowboy Stadium
(complete with Minifigure players and crowd)
Fort Worth: Stockyards, Courthouse, Sundance Square Mural, skyscrapers
Hot Air Balloon in the country
Farmland
Southfork Ranch
Ranger Stadium
(that David kept taking apart!!!)
And more of Dallas as we came back around to the same spot.
Duplo Village featured lots of Duplo blocks for the little ones to play with, animals built out of Legos,
and a slide that Rebekah was scared to go down.
Grandpa resting in the Cafe. Appropriate, as the painting on the wall behind him was a Lego combine cutting the wheat.
Duplo Village also had these jumbo-sized foam blocks to build with!
There was a station to build your own race car.
(Notice that everyone in this photo is a grown-up?)
And several ramps to race the cars.
Earthquake table.
Pick-a-Brick wall inside the store.
Duplo sets I never knew existed! Winnie the Pooh and Cars! And yes, Aunt Sissy, they had the Lego Cars sets! The store was amazing... I'll take one of everything, please! But David only asked for one thing:
a ninja.
(He flies, too, on wings made out of swords.)
And when we got home he asked me to make him a cake for his birthday that looks like the ninja....
