Legoland & Movies

woodwardiocomYesterday was our family's first trip to the new Legoland Boston. It was bit overwhelming, as the opening-week crowds are still in full force. I might suggest either going on a weekday, or waiting until the buzz dies down.
Roo was reasonably well-behaved for the whole experience, but I'm particularly proud of her for two things. First, she really wanted to try the Play Zone, which is a huge playstructure, two stories, completely enclosed in foam and nets, with slides and climbing areas and no-one over 5' allowed. Since there were rambunctious big kids in there, we were a bit terrified, but we let her try, and she was daring, bold, and resolute, climbing to the top, going down the two-story slide, trying new things, and wending her way out when she was done. We observed from outside, and whenever she spotted us, she'd alternate between delight and telling us to go 'way (because she had everything under control).
Second, she got her first movie theater experience, seeing a 5 minute Clutch Powers short at the 4D Cinema. (The fourth D is apparently wind, water, and frost effects.) She was momentarily frightened at the scary bits, but bounced right back with laughter, and after she learned she could "turn off" the 3D effect by looking over her glassses instead of through, managed her own level of scared-ness.
I am so entirely proud, and look forward to taking her back in a few months...
