The Imagination of Lego!

By Hailey Kim

“Even though you're growing up you should never stop having fun,” said Canadian actress Nina Dobrev. When I read this I think of when my whole family enjoyed Legoland. I love Legoland! There are many fun things to do, there are cool builds, and there are many stores.

Certainly, this enormous amusement park has lots of fun things to do. For example, there are lots of rides. There is a roller coaster called The Dragon, and there is a ride called Rogue Riders. I remember when I was waiting in line to ride Rogue Rider.“Auntie, Jeewonne, and Byungchan are going so fast!” I whispered as I was trembling in fear. “It’s ok I’m going to be with you on the ride.” replied my aunt. When their ride was over it was our turn. I hopped onto the ride and sat down. “3,2,1 go!” exclaimed the worker. “Ahhhhhhh!” I screamed. I was relieved that I was with my aunt. I was in between her knees getting splashed with water. When the ride was done my aunt was so dizzy and wet. I was running all over the place trying to dry up. I asked my aunt, “Can we go again pretty please.” “ Sure!” she replied, which made me jump up and down with excitement. I couldn’t wait to go again with my cousins.

Another example is that there are pools. You can cannonball inside and do a splash fight with friends and family. Finally, you can make your own personalized mini Lego figure. You can make a knight or a princess, or you can even make one that looks like you. This proves that Legoland has lots of fascinating creations. You will soon find that this delightful place has lots of extraordinary structures. For instance, there is a Lego structure of Yankee Stadium. The miniature Yankee athlete even moves. Another instance is they built Lego games like the horse race game. You press the button of your horse color as fast as you can. Whoever gets to the finish line first wins. I’ll never forget the time I tried the horse race game. “Whoa!”, exclaimed my brother Paul. “What, what is it!?” I exclaimed. Paul pointed at four horses and buttons. “Can we play it please?” he begged. “Ok, but whoever wins gets to eat cotton candy” my parents responded. Paul, my cousins, and I pressed the button as fast as we could. “YES!!” I exclaimed. I was jumping up and down. “I’m going to eat the cotton candy, yay!”, I exclaimed. “Not fair”, Paul whined. My parents handed me the sweet cotton candy. I was looking at the others and I decided to share with them. “ Your so nice Hailey”, beamed my mom and dad. This also included the structure of New York City that lights up at night. If you come at night the Lego structure is like a mini nightlight. This shows that this exciting park has lots of Lego structures.

This fascinating place has many stores. For example, there are gift shops. Some sections have giant Lego sets. You can even get a stuffed animal. Also, there are drink shops. Kids can get beverages like Fanta, lemonade, fruit punch, and Sprite. I will never forget the time when lemonade saved my life. I was walking all around the place looking at all the stops. “Mom can we take a break on the bench I’m exhausted,” I asked my mom. “Okay, but dad is going to be here in a few minutes so we are going to have to get up.” replied my mom. A few minutes later. We spotted my dad. I was so thirsty my mouth was like a desert. I saw a cup in my dad’s hand. “I got lemonade!”, exclaimed my dad. I ran as fast as I could. Grabbed the cup and gulp gulp gulp. The lemonade was so refreshing. “ Thanks, dad!” I exclaimed. While we were walking back to our car I was still holding onto the cup of lemonade I had. Another example is Lego shops. There are aisles full of Lego keychains, 5,000-piece Lego sets, and more. This illustrates that there are no other parks with this many stores.

As can be seen, these are the reasons why I love Legoland. I love the fascinating things you can do, the amazing rides, and last but not least the gigantic stores. I realized that I know more about Legoland than I knew I did.

Pretending someone isn’t weird is hard

Enough, but when that person is

Outstanding, not encouraging is harder much.

People come in many ways,

Learning any shape or form, but

Everybody is unique, no matter their obscurities,

And all their insecurities.

Rob, Larry, Phoebe, or Bob

Everyone can perfect a job.

Grandpa, Grandma, Mom or Dad,

Really close people can make you glad.

Everybody has a strength

And even old Joe can reach new lengths.

Take it easy, it's not crazy, not everyone is all that lazy.

Math is really fun! It is so much better than social studies. One reason is that addition is easy and fun. Math problems are my most favorite thing to solve! Practice makes perfect! I would suggest practicing math because it’s like a game and it’s so easy and fun!

Another reason that math is the best is that you can learn so much and more! There’s multiplication, division, measuring, and so much more. It’s like never ending because in every grade you learn new things.

The last reason is it’s so much fun to measure things with rulers. Anybody like to measure? Try it! It’s fun to see how big or small things are when you measure them. I love using rulers and guessing how big something will be.

School is my favorite place to go! When it’s not math time but a subject like social studies, it gets boring sometimes. Math time is when all the fun happens! That's why math is better than social studies! Hope you agree with me!
