Bork Legeland

We went to Bork Legeland today with Silas. It is an indoor playground near our house. All morning I was looking forward to going there so that I could watch Silas in awe of all the big slides, ball pits, bounce houses  and climbing towers, knowing he would have a great time! Upon arrival he spotted something in the distance and took off running......past the slides.......the balls......the bounce houses.....and what did he find? A tractor!!!  Quite similar to the one he has at home!!!

Okay we thought, it's something familiar, he'll get sick of it and then we can show him all the slides, the balls, the bounce houses, etc.  45 minutes later (after two attempts to remove him from the tractor while kicking and screaming) we were still sitting at the same spot, Silas still content just sitting on the tractor, or climbing on and off.  Søren and I were finding the humour of it all, wondering if we could get a refund as our child only was playing with a toy he has in his own garage.

Finally, Søren got Silas to follow my up the small tower and down the slide....but upon landing he immediately started saying "tractor, væk" (gone) and was walking around in a confused state looking for the tractor. That is when he discovered a different tractor, this time in red!!! So another 15 minutes went by on this tractor. And such was our trip to Bork Legeland...5 minutes trying something else and then back to the tractor....trying something else, and back to the tractor.  They only other real "hits" were the car racing arcade games (again with a steering wheel) and the blow-up bouncy tractor.

We had a great time, and of course we were just happy that Silas had fun...but seriously!! On the way home he kept saying over and over..."Bye bye tractor..."  "Mere tractor"  (more)

Here is a display of his tractor experiences today.

And a few of the 20 minutes he wasn't on a tractor
