I Heart Legos

If we had to get rid of all the toys in our house and were only able to keep one thing, it almost certainly would be Legos. Brad and I both enjoyed Legos as kids and we are having a lot of fun introducing them to our kids now. So you can imagine how excited the kids (ahem...all of us) were when we found out the new special exhibit at the Museum of Play was Castle Legos! Due to a stinker of a scheduling mix-up (that was not in Brad's favor) he unexpectedly had to work this whole weekend including a 24 hr shift, so he took Thursday off and we packed the five of us up and headed to the museum to check it out. Dad and Tim, if you are reading this you need to come with us to check it out next time - you'd really enjoy it! Keep in mind, just about everything you see in these pictures is made from Legos!

First stop, the aquarium at the entrance! First trip to the museum with THREE kiddos!

Welcome to LegoLand! :)

This dragon was VERY impressive and there was a cute baby dragon in the treasure chest behind the kids too.

This knight in shining lego armor is taller than me!

With my princess and two princes on the lego throne.

The peanut gallery about to watch the joust...

Hazaah for Daddy! :)

Here you could build a virtual lego wall and use the catapoult to test it's strength

There were tons of exhibits with some pretty cool lego designs. This was a replica of an English garden somewhere. There were a bunch of lego models of real life castles from around the world too, but my battery was dying so I didn't get pictures of those. Guess we'll have to go again!

This castle was a smaller version of a castle build by a 13 year old boy that took him over a week to build and took up half of his bedroom.

Another cool castle...

Yeah I feel like this some days...

Lego monopoly box

This one was huge. It was one of my favorites.

Peek a boo!

This one was so creative...everything here was made from Legos...now I'm thinking of building some Lego furniture for our house...haha.

After the lego exhibit, we had a little time left to check out the super hero exhibit which daddy hadn't seen yet. We all had fun playing Captain America old school arcade style :).
The kids showed off their super powers yet again...

And where was little Elijah this whole time...

...loving his Mei Tai time of course!

Concluding a great morning with a ride on the carosel!

Fun memories! Now we just need to get through this weekend and then Brad has a week off!
