Birthday Boy

 This cute boy went to Legoland Discovery Center.  Yes everything is in German, but Lego is universal and it didn't really seem so odd.  All the Lego games you on Wii, PS3 or 360 the lego minifigures speak in an odd language that makes no sense, so we just rolled with the punches.

Matt was able to take the day off work and go with us, which made the experience all the more fun.

Christian started the morning opening a couple of presents we picked up on the sly the day before, then we were off.  We picked up breakfast at the train station and then were off on a high-speed train to a bordering town.  After a six minute walk we found it.

The photo to the left is of the elevator in Legoland Discovery Center.  We have been talking for months about going and he is SO EXCITED!

 All over the place there were things built with legos.  Minifigures, whole cities replicated, jungle themes, etc.  We saw a 4D Lego Movie, which was super cool.  The 4th D represents how they sprayed water or blew air to make the experience more really.  It was again in German.  There were demonstration of how Legos are made, rides, and little games, play areas like McDonalds, but the best was the racer builder.

They had a whole area full of pieces to make race cares and then test them for durability and speed.  That was by far Matt and Christian's favorite.  It was at that point I realized why they charge kids and adults a like the same price.  Matt did more building in this area then Christian and all around me I could see the dads at the table under direction of their children.

There is the funniest of the huge Lego creations.

In summery Lego Discovery was hugely over priced and not worth the price.  The 4 of us paid a total of 53 euro (70 USD), but Christian would but Christian would say it was worth every dollar.  And for our kids who have endured being quiet in hotels, none of their toys, long walks in cold weather, and being withdrawn from their friends for an extended time.  I think it was worth it!

And how would any boy ended such a wonderful day?  McDonalds of course with a Playland and Happy Meal!  It was a good day!
