Recently Legoland, Denmark celebrated it's 50th anniversary, so J&M along with three children went over to central Jutland to open the whole show.
It was actually pretty cold that day!
The whole opening started with a countdown, then Henrik and Athena should press a button made from legobricks. The two children pressed all they have learned - never thinking about the dude sitting somewhere flicking a switch at the same time.
Mademoiselle Athena was in great form, she and her mother each got a bouquet of flowers upon arrival, and that was appreciated! The last time she went to Legoland, at least on the job, she got a bouquet made from legobricks. - She's growing up.
It was the head of the Lego-family and the business himself, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, along with his wife, Camilla, who guided J&M around the park.
But it wasn't the end of work for the children, because they were also tasked with planting a small flag among the exhibitions and that they did and posed nicely for the photographers.
Well, it was certainly Athena who was the center of attention for our photographer, she's a girl, smiling and charming and life isn't fair to boys. Boys are boring, so Henrik drew backseat...
then the whole family went over to the Western part of the park. It's one of the oldest attractions of the park, it was even around in my childhood. Complete with a brick-replica of Mount Rushmore, a western town where you can wash gold out of a little stream. The "gold" you wash out is then melted into a medallion. Children have fallen for that one for now three generations.
There is also a native village, complete with teepees and indianere, who look suspiciously like Danes, and also speak with the local accent...
But the chief, Chief Longear, he's pretty cool!
As mentioned several times before Prairie-indianere in special have a very good image in Europe.
So all three children were made members of the tribe and each issued a feather. Felix, being a real big-brother, also wore one.
And then it was time to try the new ride in the indianer-village, Flying Eagle. Afterwards miss Athena laughed to our reporter: "It tickled a whole lot in the belly."
Even her brother, who is otherwise very much into wheels and cars, said: "It was fun and it went fast."
So it was a good day.
But see for yourselves here:
