Theme Park Of a Kind

The LEGOland Theme Park had its second anniversary on Sept 15,2013. 
My grandchildren and  their cousins were there the day before, together joining in the fun!
( it rained that morning, the weather was cloudy and the day was relatively dark)

Building blocks exuding wild imaginations
Flashbacks to those young days gone by
Time well spent in building of known items
Engrossed in childhood fantasies

Development of childhood brain teasers
Fascination to innocent youngsters
Lego a companion for many years
Now right before one’s own eyes
What had been likes of childhood dreams
All transformed colorful and nice
Into known objects monuments and buildings

The beauty of it all a bonus of a kind
Within a theme park akin to a fairyland
Extending myriads of wonders and attractions
Presented as a reality to those frustrations
Of long hours before of uncompleted creations
Now all proudly presented at LEGOland

Note:
" LEGOland Malaysia is the first Legoland in Asia and the sixth in the world. It was open to the public in Sept. 2012. The 76 acre theme park features seven themed areas with more than 40 interactive rides, shows and attractions. Its water theme park is almost 90% complete and set to open to the public on Oct 21, 2013. A first in Asia, and the largest in the world, the Legoland Water Park will have more than 20 water slides and over 70 Lego models among its attractions. "

  1. We used to live near Legoland in the UK, so it was our 'local park' and my children knew it by heart. Thanks for reminding me of the fun (for all ages) and hope you get to enjoy all of it when it opens up fully.

  3. Wonderful that your grandsons and their cousins got to go to Legoland. My grandkids got to experience the one in Chicago & really enjoyed it. There really is something magical about legos. I like to build with them myself.

  9. I think I've bought enough legos to fill a park. I'd love to go to one some day. My kids and their kids have grown up with them in all their manifestations. They truly are a joy forever. Well said.
