Land of the Deutsch Lego!

Friday being a down day for the husband meant we had a day to go play. What do you do on a cold, breezy, cloudy spring day? In our case, we tagged along with friends to get a deal on a group rate at Legoland; our last trip to an amusement park was such an unexpectedly fun experience we decided to try it again. And, while the park is aimed towards the younger kids, I think we all had a good time. At the very least, even the teenagers were seen with a smile on their faces! That's almost worth the price we paid!

No and Em both got to drive little electric cars in the farschule (driving school) for little kids. It was thoroughly hilarious watching those kids drive around and crash, albeit very slowly, into one another. It was obvious which kids play a lot of Mario Kart, and which don't!

Possibly my favorite part of the day was watching No. He would ride the rides with an intense look of concentration, obviously taking these rides VERY seriously. Once off the ride, however, he would jump around with his little fists in the air and yell: "that was my favorite! Can I again? I love it!" Also hilarious was watching Emma whoop and holler on the roller coaster, absolutely having the time of her life--in stark contrast to her older siblings, who just were not that happy to ride the rides (not unlike their father).

The most dumb ride, where you pedal a car around an elevated track, had the very longest lines. It caused us to wonder if the long lines just made people think the ride was worthwhile?

Also, is the lego-making tour really making legos, or are they just pretending since it is lego land and all? Most of it was obviously faked.
