Legoland

Aidan was able to spend most of today at Legoland in Grapevine with his best friend who is visiting from Indiana. They had a blast building, zooming on rides, and watching Lego movies with 3D and 4D elements. (Another reason for all of you to come and visit us in Texas!) Legoland has a "factory" part that shows you how Legos are made and you get to take home this cool yellow commemorative brick. (Aidan managed to smooth talk them into giving him a second brick for his Dad who really wanted to come to Legoland, but had to stay home) Aidan also came home with a Lego series 4 mini figure hazmat guy from the gift shop that he promptly traded to Bren for the hockey player that Bren had scored at the Lego store last week.



We were also able to complete our collection of Halloween mini figures and I'm so excited to start the construction of the Lego grave yard that we are planning to display at Halloween. (Yes, it is a little early, but you have to understand how much I LOVE Halloween... I'm already planning Asher's costume) Do you think we should add the mad scientist? He's kind of Halloween-y.



Aidan has this book that shows all the Star Wars Lego sets from the beginning to 2009 and he looks at it all the time. The book has two pages devoted to the Star Wars mini sets that Lego gave away with it's Master Builder club memberships. We have always thought that we could easily construct most of the models from the Legos that we have... well, Bren ended up finding the instruction sheets here, and Aidan made this model last night. The small ones are really fun!
