In July, I got a flyer in the mail advertising a Lego Kids Fest in Austin. I knew we wanted to go but was unsure of the cost. Thankfully, Gigi and Mr. Don made it an early Christmas present!
The boys, especially Reef and Jonas, were in love with the whole thing!
Our session was from 9-1:30. This means we planned to live dangerously and skip both naps for Poppy! I was worried it wouldn't be enough time to see it all, but it turned out to be more than enough.
We pushed past the crowds and hit the Ninjago area first. As you can see, Lachlan, was still enamored with the fact that these were statues made of real legos!
Poppy made friends with this Lego guy while her brothers jumped in the bounce house.
Deep in concentration in the green section.
The giant pile of Legos. The noise here was deafening! All those people digging through all those legos!
She was a little tired and overwhelmed. Sometimes you just have to lay down in the middle of the floor.
Jonas was intense about racing his car.
At this point, Lachlan, Poppy, and I headed to the duplo area where she could be a little more destructive. The big boys and Troy spent some time building and then took tons of pictures with the statues. Don't know what kind of faces these are!
In the rocket ship
Of course, with the super heroes.
Then they found us at the duplos.
One last group shot at Batman.
And one last round of Ninjago spinners. I'm not really sure about the draw of these, but I will tell you they are on everyone's Christmas list now!
After a long morning of Legos, we treated ourselved to Gourdough's. We can't come to Austin and not get donuts! I wish we had a picture of their faces when they first saw the size of these!
Serious eating going on here.
The aftermath.
It was long trip, and Poppy fell asleep about 15 minutes before we got home, so she was a little grouchy the rest of the day. But it was so worth it! Thanks, Gigi and Mr. Don!
