Legoland: Everything is Awesome.

We went to Legoland in Malaysia to meet our wonderful friends for the last weekend of our break.  They lived on our street in Bangkok and we all bonded fast and have created a forever friendship.   They moved on to the International School of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.   KL is only a four hour drive from us, but due to Malaysia law, they are not allowed to leave until the end of Dec for tax reasons. 

 Legoland seemed like the best place for us to all meet....it is just a border jump for us and still in Malaysia for them.  It is also ALL things Lego and they were the ones who turned us onto the toy.

The group. 

I was never a lego fan until I was an adult.   I had a neighbor growing up who had buckets of them, but my brother and I never understood the draw.  Having two kids who do enjoy legos, we can now spend hours building and being creative.  With today's technology, I love that it is still remains popular.  Liam loves it too and it a great builder even though he is only three.  

We went on a Saturday, but the place was not crowded and we got onto rides very easy.  There was even times when they just kept letting them go and go until we said stop.  They had roller coasters to lego displays.  Amelia liked the thrill rides and Liam liked the slow rides (so much like my brother). Malaysia is also cheaper then Singapore.  This was great for us!   

The splash ride.  

We decided to stay in a nearby hotel instead of going home that night.  The hotel was in the harbor that looked onto Singapore.   It was a cool area and one that I would definitely go back to for a weekend getaway.  The weekend went way to fast and I am already missing our friends :(.  

Yahoo for Legoland!

One of the MANY lego displays.  Liam wanted to have his picture taken with them ALL. 

Boat Quay, Singapore...Made of Legos.  This is the area Wade works.  So much detail!

Liam and Anna.  These two have a special bond.

Liam got his face painted early in the day.  It had melted within an hour and we had to wash it all off. 

This was Liam's favorite ride.   He would have spent ALL day on it.  

The infinity pool at the hotel.  It was rooftop.  

 

The plate of bacon our friend's ordered.  Malaysia is a Muslim country and most of it Halal.  They can't get pork products in KL, so they have to get it while they can.
