We all played hooky from work/school/swim class today and went to Legoland. Between the free ticket offered by our local cable provider and a coupon we picked up at Dairy Queen we managed to get the whole family in for the price of a single adult ticket. We’ve managed to score similar deals the other two times that we’ve gone to Legoland as well. Actually, I’m not sure we could really get our money’s worth if we had to pay full price since our limit seems to be about four hours.
We kept the plan a secret from Oscar and got him in the car this morning by telling him that I was sick and needed to go to the doctor. He sat very patiently in the car all the way up to Carlsbad and it wasn’t until he saw the giant Lego sculptures in the parking lot that he figured out what we were really doing. “You were just joking me, Dad?” he said with a big grin on his face. We played the same trick on him that last time we went there — something tells me he isn’t going to fall for it a third time.
Below is some video of Oscar riding The Dragon which is probably his favorite ride. He got on it twice today, once with Anna and once with me. And as Oscar points out in the video, they did instruct us not to use cameras while on the ride — bad Dad.

What a little daredevil!
We have a wedding to go to this weekend and Jim really dislikes weddings. Maybe I could use this strategy (but reversed and not as nice) with Jim.
Me, “Jim, we are going to Legoland.”
Jim, “Yeah!!!”
Drive, Drive, Drive….
Jim,”Wait, this isn’t Legoland. I see a big white tent and people in suits. This is a wedding. You were just joking me, Lydia?”
