Brick a Mania...

10/12/2013

It was ALL LEGO® - ALL day for us this Saturday!

   
First, we headed to LEGO® KidsFest at the Oregon Convention Center. For those who have 8 year-olds and no plans for Sunday - I recommend it highly.


    My boys were looking forward to it for weeks. The event did not disappoint. My youngest even created a 'must see' list.

Here's a few snapshots of the fun activities:

LEGO Technic
Monochromatic Build
Art Gallery
LEGO Castle

Then, on the way home form the event we stopped at Bricks and Minifigs in Canby. Wowza!


This ALL LEGO store offers buying, selling, and trading of the beloved bricks in all shapes and sizes. As soon as I heard of this store, I knew my boys would want to visit.


After almost an hour of oohing and ahhing around the store, our boys pooled their allowance for a small batch of bulk bricks (that they don't already have at home) and a few StarWars mini-figures

Here's a few of the store's great offerings:
Sets - New & Used!
Mini-figures Galore!
Bulk Bricks!
Specialty Mini-figures
      Now, we're home and our our LEGO day continues. I'm sleepily sipping a cup of hot cider (with my feet up) while the boys are busy building with their new bricks. With their new purchases, and the  'mini-set' prizes they received at KIDSFEST, I'm not sure when they'll be ready for bed. Our eight year old keep announcing, "This is such a fun day!"

Who ever imagined that such small bricks could bring such joy and contentment to so many?
