House of Lego


Today’s visit to Legoland Windsor was full of secrets and intrigue.

The boys enjoyed our trip to Legoland Deutschland so much (we sometimes wonder if they actually remember anything else about those six weeks), that we booked a return visit. We wanted it to be a surprise, mainly to see the sheer joy in their eyes when they saw it…but also to use as leverage when needed.

Over the past two weeks, we’ve needed to pull that out a few times. For example, “We’re going to cancel our amazing surprise day if you do that one more time!”

There was a close call in the lift at the Royal Observatory when I noticed a Legoland brochure on the floor. They couldn’t see that, or they would either figure out what the amazing surprise was or they would beg incessantly to go there and thereby nullify our amazing surprise completely. I silently slipped my foot over the brochure and told them to look at the cool lights in the elevator to avert this crisis. Amazingly, there were no other ads or billboards anywhere near us.


This morning before we left, I let slip that we were going to see a show to keep them off the trail. John immediately picked up on this and probed to figure out which show it was going to be: why, Mamma Mia! of course. They didn’t see it coming.
