Legoland was BRILLIANT

After a while Mr Messy's dizzy symptoms improved enough for us to set off Down South. We stayed overnight in a Travel Lodge nearish to Legoland, which wasn't the best place we've ever stayed but it was ok. We'd prebooked breakfast, and once we'd eaten (or I'd persuaded Little Prince he had to eat or we wouldn't go to Legoland) we stuffed our bags back in the car and set off for Windsor. The Travel Lodge website lies - we were a LOT further away than it said we were!!! But we arrived before opening time anyway, Little Prince was fascinated with the Lego figures dotted around on the way to the car park - he couldn't believe how much bigger they were than his little Lego man!! Once we got in the park, we had a look round the shops and promised Little Prince we would buy him something later on, I didn't fancy lugging a tonne of Lego round the rides with us!!
The first ride we tried was the Viking River Splash, and they were right it splashed!! In fact I think most of the rides we went on got us wet!! Luckily it was warm(ish) so we dried off again pretty quickly, I didn't want to pay £2 for the coin operated walk in driers!! I let the boys ride the Spinning Spider ride by themselves, and despite his dizzy symptoms Mr Messy enjoyed it. I also let them ride the Log Flume by themselves too - they got DRENCHED!!! Its a good job I was holding Mr Messy's posh camera, its just a pity I couldn't work out how to turn it on and take their photo lol!! The food in the park was well above usual theme park standards, Mr Messy and Little Prince shared a very nice and meaty rack of ribs and he also shared a chicken strips meal with me and their was plenty to go around. We all went on the Boating School ride, but it was spoilt by Mr Messy and Little Prince arguing over who was steering - both wanted to!!! Big kids!! True Little Prince did just want to crash the boat into the banks everytime he got hold of the steering wheel, but still... Little Prince was almost heartbroken that he wasn't quite old enough to go on the Driving School (kids drive round a road circuit in Lego cars) but then we found the L-Drivers school for younger kids, and all was well with the world again. I think that was one of the longest waits we had for a ride and it was only about 15-20 mins, so not bad :-) Little Prince was BRILLIANT at driving :-) He steered round the simple course with ease, and would probably have been fine on the older kids ride!!
NO that is NOT a picture of Little Prince, its from a holiday website :-)
After his driving adventure Little Prince was presented with his very own driving licence, and of course the proud Mummy and Daddy HAD to upgrade it to the photo one :-) I can't remember what other rides we went on, but they were all a lot of fun :-) We finished off the day with a wander round Miniland, where various famous tourist attractions were recreated in Lego - the detail in the models was fantastic, it even captured Little Prince's imagination :-) We set off for home and Little Prince desperately wanted his comfort blankie, but we couldn't let him as after all that walking and excitement he would have fallen fast asleep and would have been foul when we woke him up for something to eat. So we endured about an hour of whinging and wailing before we found a service station and stopped for tea. Once back in the car Little Prince got his beloved blankie and was soon totally zonked :-) He only woke up when we got home, just long enough to tell me that he LOVED Legoland and wanted to go again in the morning, before falling back to sleep in his own little bed :-)
