The rainy and cold day could not affect the amount of fun that we had at Legoland. This park is the original and has served as a model for the many others that have sprouted up around the world, including the few in America. We were joined by Yette and Thomas from Hilltop. On the ride down to Billund, we drove through several heavy rain squalls and even had some hail. When we arrived, the sun magically appeared and our tour began with a warm coffee and some exploring of the incredible Lego models. The models include elaborate cities, towns and harbors all built with working parts made of Legos (the Copenhagen model took 3.5 million). There were even some that we were quite familiar with.
After a couple of hours touring the awesome models, we decided it was time for some lunch. Burgers and fries around for almost everyone. With full bellies and renewed excitement, it was off to the rides! The first few rides were easier and smaller but, then came the roller coasters and pirate land which included a haunted house and some cool (wet) water rides.
After some awesome rides, the rain really began to fall heavily and we headed to the shops for souvenirs and for some photo opportunities with new and old friends.
After quite a day at Legoland, we headed back to Hilltop for a pizza party with all of the Hilltop students. The students also played chess and pool following dinner. Then it was off to Summerhus to get a good night's rest to be fresh for the last full day in Denmark.
