After nearly three years of making notional plans to meet up as a group, it finally happened; my two and J’s two spending the whole day at the Legoland close by. Of course, there was tardiness involved, the five year old deciding at the last minute that her regular breakfast of cereal wasn’t going to cut it.
The day itself was spent trying to solve the optimisation problem of what rides to go on,taking into account waiting times and a finite number of fast passes. For lunch, we dipped into fries cut in the shape of Legos and some chicken strips, which I suppose justified the eye watering cost.
By all accounts, the kids got on like a forest fire, even if it meant all that walking blitzed my 10,000 steps for the day in short order. There were tears shed at the end as the day drew to a close and we had to insist it was time to go home.
