More Legoland

We also hit the new Pirate Shores at Legoland. The day started of gray and gloomy which became sunnier late in the day. That didn't stop Tyler and lots of other kids from getting wet even though it was a bit chilly.

It might be a little difficult to see the bucket that fills up with water every few minutes but a bell starts ringing which signals all the kids to run over to a good spot for a big dump of water. The top 3 pictures shows the sequence of events. The kids never tire of this...too bad it wasn't warmer otherwise I might be tempted to join them.

There are a couple of waterslides for the adventurous or older kids. Tyler could have spent the entire day here.

There is also a water area for babies/toddlers and those more timid (like Josh).

There are real rides to go on at Pirate Shores but prepare to get very wet. The water ride pictured above looks like fun, right? You get your own water cannon that you can aim at other boats or people at the edges. Ha, that's where you would be mistaken...the seats in the boats are soaking wet so you're sitting in a puddle. There are multiple outposts like above where Josh is standing with his own water cannon and he can duck behind a wall so he won't get nearly as wet as those poor people in the boats who have no protection from the water. Yes, this ride is much more fun as a spectator with a water cannon versus a person on the ride. We saw lots of grownup people have lots more fun spraying the boat riders. Hector saw one man spray people for about 30 minutes...he was laughing so hard at the unfortunate people on the ride as he was soaking them. Good times for all!
