It came....the closest event there is resembling a Lego Convention. NERDS UNITE!
For weeks, we were all excited.
Parker could barely sleep.
We drove for 2.5 hours to Raleigh, NC and joined about a
BILLION kids and adults who all love
or enable someone they love to collect all things Lego.
The Lego KidsFest boasted THREE ACRES of Legos,
including building stations, competitions, shopping,
enormous Lego statues, and lots of screaming, happy children
and their exhausted parents.
The statues were AMAAAAAAAYZING!
This Lightning McQueen was 350,000 legos and weighed 3 tons.
This is the Brick Pile. Basically a dump truck
came into the convention center,
dumped a heap of bricks,
and all the kids jumped in and started building.
Monochromatic brick build: featuring the cheddar cheese assortment.
Parker literally screamed when he saw the
another building station with the bricks in his all-time favorite color.
Parker had a hard time at the Lego retail store
deciding what to spend his allowance on.
He saved for weeks!
This is Creation Nation. Everyone gets a small base plate
and they can create whatever they want,
which is then placed on the map of the U.S.
Parker got so excited he broke out in his customary
Heat Rash of Excitement, so we knew he had a great time!

You are pretty cool parents to take your child to something that crazy! But I bet it was worth it! Those statues are pretty amazing, imagine getting paid to build with Legos, dream job for Parker.
Looks like a blast! The lime green legos were quite impressive.
