Since we have year passes, I decided to take the kids up to Legoland during fall vacation. I was kind of excited because I knew they were celebrating Halloween there and I thought it would be fun for the kids to see it. Legoland completely met, and exceeded, all my expectations.
This greeted us right at the entrance. I knew right then we would have a great time. The crowds weren’t too big, and it was our third or fourth time going this year, so we took it slow and rode whatever sounded fun at the time. Including the train which we don’t often bother with.
We had the most fun looking for all the hidden decorations, placed in odd places in the park. Like this witch beaver, for example. 
Then there were things that were a little more in your face. 🙂
We also quickly learned to look up, as there were all kinds of different things hanging from the trees.
The weather was absolutely perfect, too. Not too warm, not too cold, with a bit of cloud cover. And since it was vacation, we didn’t need to worry about getting home at a certain time. We just stayed until it closed, knowing that the kids could sleep in and take it easy the next day. (Not that the kids sleep in very much, but at least they didn’t have to go to school or something.)
My favorite bit may have been how the decorated the big castle. I so wish we could do this to our balcony roof!
Some of the decorations were pretty gruesome, but it didn’t seem to bother Lexi any at all.
There was also a little show with a hilarious witch and her friend. Afterwards, the kids could go up and “trick or treat” at either the left or right door. Only the older girls wanted to go up, the young ones were too shy.
I talked the kids into going on a ride they had always been too scared to try before. I think it looked too easy to fall off of, out of, or down. But once they got on, they figured out it was fun, and they ended up wanting to go on it more than once. 🙂
I did need to sit next to Lexi the first time, to help keep her safe. 
Noah sat out the first time, but when no one died, he decided to give it a go. However, he still wasn’t sure it was going to be fun. 🙂 He’s still with us, so it all ended okay. whew!
I have no idea where they found all these giant pumpkins. But there were piles of them all over the park. I had Alexandra get as close as possible for a size comparison. They were huge!
It was a truly lovely day, and I am so glad we went. It really got us all in the Halloween mood, and was a fun way to spend a vacation day.
