After Ghis and Jean enjoyed a game of tennis (it’s finally sunny and nice), Jean and I and Morgane and the twins headed to Legoland. I’d heard it was definitely worth seeing. In the end, I’d say it was okay – there was lots to do and it wasn’t too crowded, but the lego sculptures didn’t interest me that much.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Looks just like the real world!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The ones I did like were part of Mini Land, kind of a small replica of our world with beaches and skyscrapers, kayakers and fire engines, houses and picnics and sailboats and the statue of liberty, the White House and everything else you can imagine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Morgane recognized the monument in the background and said, "That's Washington, D.C."<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The kids had some trouble getting along – it seems that after a couple of days together, they were getting on each others’ nerves. They still enjoyed the rides though: the pirate ship that spun around in circles, the roller coaster and the log boat ride that they had to wait so long to go on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
After waiting so long for their ride, I expected them to be smiling, but Morgane just wanted to tell me that someone had pinched her.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They even went to driving school and got to drive little lego vehicles around a realistic-looking lego neighbourhood. They told the kids to drive on the right-hand side, but I don’t think all the kids knew their right from their left!<\/p>\n

Morgane finally gets to be a palaeontologist.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Morgane liked digging up bones like a paleontologist and she really liked designing and building her own lego vehicle and then testing it out on a ramp (and racing against others). Once she had a vehicle she was happy with, she didn’t want to take it apart so she convinced the staff member to put it on his special shelf for awhile.<\/p>\n

We also rode the Sky Rider which we got to pedal as we enjoyed a view overlooking the park.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I liked cycling around the track on this one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Morgane loved scaring her Mommy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The kids also loved the adventurers labyrinth – a dark, scary and mysterious place where they had to search for 6 keys.<\/p>\n

At 5 o’clock, the park closed and we came home and had a great dinner with Jean and the kids and the Bodeswell’s who are around again for a few days before they head off to Baja in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Morgane and I may go back to Legoland since the second day is pretty cheap and we still haven’t seen a good half of the park.<\/p>\n
