Lego Masters Academy

 Woo Hoo!  We did it!  We became Lego Masters.  Ok, maybe not, but we did get to participate in a workshop.  

This was a fun activity to do, but was very hard to enroll in.  Lego's main page doesn't exactly tell you not to book this and the VIP tour of Lego house at the same time. We had originally booked to do this on the same day, but managed to get it changed to Sunday.  Hence the pirate hotel stay. 

I was super excited of course, and we stripped our beds and headed to breakfast.  Another cock-up. Paid for, but not registered.  Receipts didn't matter and since we don't eat breakfast anyway, we just left.  Did I tell you not to stay at the Billund Pirates "motel"?  If not, don't!

We arrived in time to find a 2 hour free parking area near the Lego house, and from there we went to join the show.  

The front entry was cool and of course we had to take a few photos. 

The inside entrance was just like in the show.  Dark lights, strobes and spinning lights.  And lots of children who were more excited than I was.  

When we got inside, there were bricks everywhere, and 2 brick bins in the front.  We were talked through a build of a figure of ourselves.  George tried, but since he's not really into lego, it was harder for him to keep up.  One guy came over and helped him a bit and George of course switched into talking about 3D printers with him.  

We built our likeness and were able to bring it and the extra pieces on the table home with us.  We of course gave our extra bits to the kids in the room.

All in all, it was a fun day that I would do again.  If we ever go back, I'll do a more advanced workshop I think.  I highly recommend this experience.  Money well spent.  And I got George to goin in so how much better can it get?
