we had no lines at all. The weather was cool, but it didn't rain, AND
we had several lovely sunbreaks that thawed us out.
Some highlights:
C loved the horse ride (previous pic). He was just barely tall enough
to go on it, but said he wanted to do it. They seat belted him on it,
and away he went! It was a kind of big track and he was actually in
and out of my sight for a minute of two. I was worried that he would
start crying once he realized he was alone, but he LOVED it!! He
ended up riding it 5 times throughout the day!
G, of course, loved everything. He was really into the factory where
they show how Legos are made. He was super brave and even went on a
huge rollercoaster with his dad. It wasn't his favorite though, and he
will probably wait a while before taking on any big rollercoasters!
M, on the other hand, really surprised us. She is usually a little
more careful than her brother. But at the end of the day, she decided
she may regret it if she didn't at least try out a big rollercoster. J
took her on it, and she did great! She didn't love it, but she was so
proud of herself! By then she had up her nerve though, so she and J
raced to the other side of the park to go on the one rollercoaster
none of us had tried yet. (G said, "No, thank you!") Again, she
wasn't sure she loved it, but she was really glad she tried it! She
kept saying, "I can't believe I went on two rollercoasters!"
Another highlight was enjoying warm, fresh crepes that were topped
with Nutella and bananas! Mmmm! We have all grown to love Nutella
over here and will definitely enjoy it stateside as well!
It was so nice to have a carefree day where it was fine for the kids
to be wild and loud- it was all about them.
The drive back to Hochwald was pretty grueling. A missed exit (or 2)
earned us a 40 minute detour, in rush hour. We finally got back to our
freezing cold bungalow around 10. Almost 5 hours after we'd left
Legoland. Our thermostat inside our place said 12 degrees, C. I don't
know what that is in F, but I am here to tell you that it is really
cold. Especially when 4/5 of your group isn't feeling great. And then
since it was so late, the mandatory nighttime control kept overriding
me and turning the heat off!!! We finally got warmed up though, and
I'll tell you- the 5 Gs slept great!
Auf Weidersehen!

Yay! I'm so glad the BIGS at least went on the rollercoast(s)! I think its a requirement to be in our family. Maddy will be all ready to go with me to DisneyWorld when she's 10!! And Garrett, not far behind!
Nutella is so good! My mom and I used to talk about it and then a few years ago I found it in the store. It's pretty easy to find here so I get it every now and then.
I'm glad your having fun but I bet your ready to get back home!
I am going to go through blog withdrawl when you get back becuase I read your blog every day!
