Weekend away at Legoland!

The Night before Legoland!
The night before we went to Legoland Evie was very very restless and actually got herself up and came into our bed in the middle of the night and this is something she has never done before! She said she felt ill which is what she said the night before too! Anyway she came in for a few hours and slept and then asked to go back to her own bed. She woke up ok and keen to go although was a little reluctant to have her hair washed but we got there in the end!

Day One 
The journey there was good and the Evie and her sister were singing Frozen songs full blast most of the way! Towards the end of the journey though she started to get itchy and her mood changed considerably. Not happy any more and moody and grumpy :-(. But once we arrived she was more upbeat and we gave her some paracetamol to try and relieve her itchiness a bit. Although it was a very hot day she wanted to remain covered from head to toe in long trousers, t-Shirt and cardigan. I didn't apply suncream but made sure she wore her hat all of the time. Legoland itself was very very busy but Evie and her sister were very patient queuing for the rides and walking a lot! At the end of the day though understandably Evie was very very tired and started the itch again! Her skin is so dry again and because of itching in the night has a few sore open patches. She actually fell asleep while out to dinner! 

As we were in a Hotel we were all in one room which was interesting! I started off sharing with Evie and she was just constantly itching herself and i tried to stop her by holding her hands or massaging her but it didn't really help. My husband then took over but Evie was still so restless. She actually itches in her sleep. So we all woke up tired and irritable apart from her brother and sister who slept pretty well considering we were in a room together!

Day two 
Once everyone was up and dressed we all felt better and went down for breakfast. Evie is looking a bit poorly again as she is so dry and itchy. We are applying Vasaline still but I need to find another moisturiser to use i think. Evie wanted to go to Driving school so we went there first and she did really well driving the car around the track!
Once again though she is dressed for winter as she is cold but if that makes her happy and comfortable I'm not going to argue with her! She was itchy again so we gave her some ibuprofen to help with this. The itching seems to be getting worse again but thats because her skin is so dry i think. In herself she is feeling ok although tired and she did get very upset at one point as the 4D cinema show she wanted to see wasn't on. This annoyed mummy as much as her as we had just literally ran across the park to get there in time! 



The afternoon was better though and we managed to get on more rides and do more and Evie was still ok and upbeat in herself. She was tired in the car on the journey home and uncomfortable and itchy so couldn't sleep. But I massaged her feet which helped a bit! 

Overall
So overall Legoland was a success in the fact that we made it there and Evie was well enough to enjoy it. She did so well walking around and queuing etc. I just hope she hasn't overdone it and make herself ill again. The Girls had fun so thats all that counts! ;-)
My advice to anyone planning to go to Legoland is dont go in the summer hols!!! Pick a quieter time to go. If busy it's worth paying for the qbot thing as you can get on a ride pretty much straight away and it saves queuing with young children!
