Halloween party Legoland style

Two weekends ago, we had a long weekend since Kaelyn didn't have school Monday.  We went to Orlando for the weekend.  We left Friday about as soon as she was out of school so we had Friday evening besides the next few days to do stuff.  Both Legoland and Seaworld have Halloween parties/activities during the weekend nights of October.  These pictures are from Legoland.  Oddly enough, we ran into one of Kaelyn's classmates and family during the day Saturday.  And not just any classmate - it was Ross, the little boy that she has a major crush on.  She was so excited to have someone to play with and hang out with for a little bit.

 

 

 

The lego jack-o-lantern made out of about 26,500 legos.

The lake that borders the park on one side looks absolutely beautiful when the sun sets.

 

 

Lego Halloween characters.  The lego ghost was just too much.  :-)

 

Getting ready to do the "brick-or-treat" path.

 

I'm a big fan of lights and arches - and lighted arches.  :-)  You had to walk through the arches to get to the path where the brick-or-treating was.

 

 

Poor Kay!  She was just barely tolerating this.  She really wanted to be Minnie this year for Halloween.  I was pretty certain she would have [sensory] issues with the outfit and I kind of tried to talk her out of it but she wanted to give it a try.  She could barely stand to have it on long enough to go around and get candy.  She wants so much to dress up but she is so limited in costumes that don't feel "scratchy" as she puts it.

 

 

The candy booths were Lego themed and had silly/corny humor.  It was cute and geared for kids - not spooky or gory.

 

I would point out the obvious joke here but I'll let you just figure it out on your own.

One of the really cool things about the Halloween event was that the park was open until nine that night.  Usually, Legoland closes by five in the evening.  During the summer they were open until seven some nights because it was busier but for the most part, you never really see the park after dark.  One whole section of the park is Lego cities where there are replicas of lots of major cities in the U. S.  They are built entirely of legos and most of them have buttons near them that will activate certain things inside the city.  They are AMAZING to see in and of themselves.  For instance, the Lego Washington D. C. has all of the monuments, the Capitol building, the White House and other famous and recognizable buildings in Washington. A presidential motorcade with Lego limousines, motorcycles, secret service etc. slowly drive around the streets.  In other places, there are working Lego boats on water, cars, and people that move and do stuff.  I could stop and look every time we go because there are so many details that you always see somthing you never noticed before.  The cool thing about being there that night though was that they had lights inside various buildings in all the cities so it looked like you were looking at miniature skylines of the cities.  I know the way I'm explaining it doesn't begin to convey how neat it was.  I was going to post a few of the pictures that we took of the Lego cities that night but I think it might make more sense to see what they look like in the day time first.  We have a lot of pictures from the first couple times we went so I think I will post some of those along with the night time pictures for my next post.
