Weekend at Lalandia

The weekend before last we rented a car and drove about 2 hours to the southeast coast of Denmark to a resort called Lalandia. There is a lot to do there that is indoors, something we needed since it was misty and foggy and cold all weekend. They have an indoor water park called Aquadome.  Here there are warm pools, water slides, a great kiddie pool and hot tubs. Raegan went on a few water slides and loved them. She got a little scared when Ron took her on a tall one and they went under at the bottom but she handled it pretty well. Ron was crazy and went on a water slide that had non-warmed water and took him outside. No thanks! His skin was freezing when he got back.

The kids loved the indoor playland called Monkey Tonkey land. The huge slide was their favorite. They also had a huge ball pit and big area for building with big and small Legos.

 

We took the kids ice skating also - Raegan was really looking forward to this. Wyatt also insisted "He DO it!" So we figured why not. They gave Wyatt these little double blade skates to put on his shoes but Raegan got real skates. Wyatt lasted about 2 minutes but Raegan did great! They had construction cones for the kids to learn with and by the end of the day she got to where she could skate on her own with the cones (versus me holding her and sort of pushing her). She talks about this a lot and wants to go skating again.

They had indoor trampolines as well with BOTH kids wanted to do.

 

 

Raegan's other favorite thing to do at Lalandia was pretend she was princess at the indoor princess castle. Wyatt's role varied from being the boy in jail to being the prince. :-)

Here are a few from the Danish clown show. None of it was in English but the kids still enjoyed it. Clearly, Wyatt just had a blue sucker!

And Ron could not resist taking a picture of this guy...

 


We ended the trip taking a detour on the way home. We saw a sign for a fjord so we (thought) we followed signs for it to the coast. While we did in fact find a fjord, it was not the original one we saw being advertised off the highway - this was a bit anti-climatic. It turns out fjords are not all big cliffs into the ocean, they can be low elevation inlets of water as well and just look like a normal beach. But Raegan enjoyed starting a shell collection.

The countryside in Denmark is very pretty - here are some photos of our drive back. Also included what our back seat looked like. Baxter was the one who missed the space of the SUV the most. He may look it here but this lasted 10 seconds - he just could not get comfortable.
