livingwithkids goes to legoland

July 15th, 2009

In our third visit around the blogosphere this week we bring you a great story about Legoland from livingwithkids. The blog is part of KidStart which is a great shopping site with over 300 retailers and you can start saving money for your children as you shop.

Liz Jarvis is the livingwithkids blogger and here’s her story.

Yesterday as a special almost-Summer Holidays treat we took Ben, six and Harriet, 13-going-on-20, to Legoland.

It was Ben’s first visit and we quickly realised it would be impossible to make a plan and stick to it, because he wanted to go on every single attraction, from the Dragon rollercoaster to Pirate Falls, and he’d barely finished one ride before he was asking to go on another one. (His big sister is obviously much, much cooler, but even she was excited by the prospect of a ride on Fairytale Brook.)

Ben was thrilled with his Driving School licence. ‘Does this mean I can drive a real car?’ he asked hopefully. He looked crestfallen when he was told the answer was a firm no, but cheered up no end with a ride on the Vikings’ River Splash, which resulted in both his mum and dad getting thoroughly soaked. He thought that was very funny indeed.

The story continues here.

Here is some useful information about Legoland.
