LEGOLAND - THE BEST AMUSEMENT PARK OF ALL

We did an amusement park vacation this summer. It was a lot of fun! Mom bid on ebay for a First Rider's Ticket for me for the new robo-coaster, Knight's Kingdom.

We stayed at Grand Pacific Palisades Resort. It was pretty, but we really just wanted to eat and sleep. Dad said it was expensive, but I guess it would be worth it if you were going to stay a whole week or something because it's on the beach.

In the morning we drove over to Legoland. It was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. They met us at the front with the special bracelets and tickets. Because I got to be the First Rider, Elisha got the front of the line bracelet. It worked out for me because the bracelet made him itchy so I got to have it anyway! That was great. Dad and I got to ride whatever we wanted without waiting in line.

They had this big ceremony with the King and Queen and a whole bunch of knights. The president of Legoland was there. It was really spectacular and fancy!

You could tell they put a lot of work into it, and we got to be up front and ready to ride. There were some schoolkids who were bussed in and were really rude, yelling "Let Us Ride!" really loud while they were trying to have the ceremony. They got free tickets and they were rude. But it was still fun. I was the biggest kid who won a ticket, so I got to ride Level 4 and 5. The others rode Level 1. The robo-coaster is very cool. You choose how much you want it to flip around. Level 1 is not scary at all and is gentle. Level 4 is the best! You get to go upside down. When Mom did it, Elisha was on one of the power squirters and got a good shot and soaked her. We rode about twenty times on all the levels, but Level 4 was the best. It's a great ride!

I thought looking at the Lego cities was going to be a little boring, but it wasn't! They were so cool! Dad brought Chewy (Jenna's little stuffed dog) and we took pictures of him on the buildings.

Most of the rides were really good. The boat ride was a little boring, but okay. The scariest ride was the Bionicle Roller Coaster. I love roller coasters and have been on some really scary ones at Magic Mountain, but this was more scary than all of them because you're in a little tiny car with just you and it looks like you're going to fall off the whole time. It was fast.

There are SO many rides and things to do. There's no way you can really do it in one trip. It's a long way away from Washington, but I hope we get down there again before I'm grown up.

We went to so many amusement parks last summer. Everyone agrees that Legoland was by far the best of all of them.
