Clyde and Valentine help open new Land of Adventure at Legoland California.
Monday, March 10th, everybody at the Oasis Camel Dairy woke up to their cell phone alarms at 5:00 a.m. We had a big day ahead of us! Our 18 year old camel, Clyde and baby Valentine where vip guests at the grand opening of Legoland California's newest attraction: Land of Adventure.
Legoland is truly a jewel here in San Diego. Whether you are a kid or an adult, the park entertains and fascinates with its imaginative, interactive rides and incredible Lego models.
Back in the summer of 07' artists from Legoland California ventured out to our ranch to meet our camels and photograph Clyde. The model builders at Legoland used Clyde as their camel model. Having seen their amazing, life-size animal models in person (our parrots performed there during summer season 06' as part of Legoland's newly opened pirate themed area)
We couldn't wait to see how the model makers captured the camels!
The camels were met by Legoland VIPs, guests and a paparazzi of cameras from both TV and print news. We spent the morning posing for pictures, working with news crews and just basically having a terrific time.
Valentine seemed to especially enjoy snuggling Gil. Between live shots, she took every opportunity to be close and cuddly.
How well did the model builders do? Well, they got Valentine's seal of approval! during a quiet time between live news shots, Valentine introduced herself to the Lego Camel and Handler. After nosing both all over, she moved over next to the camel... and laid down right beside it as if she were at home in the pasture with our camels! The resounding "Ohhhh" from all on-lookers made the moment one none of us will ever forget! Great job Legoland Model Builders!
