Today begins our three-day St. Louis mini-vacation. First up, LEGO KidsFest! We really didn’t know what to expect…
Wow, what a neat experience! It’s essentially a travelling LEGOLAND. There were different stations set up all over the floor of the Edward Jones Dome. The kids got to build, build, build!
One of Laura’s favorite parts was the biggest pile of LEGO bricks “ever!” She climbed right in the middle and got down to business building.
John had more fun just jumping in the massive brick pile.
We also had fun looking at all the different models. Really, how could you not LOVE an Indiana Jones made entirely out of LEGOs?!?
Or Lord Business from “The LEGO Movie”? And, yes, Lord Business was tall… Very tall…
The girls and the boys split up for a bit and, when we met back up, Laura and I found John and Andy building a race car. It’s a good thing they even have race tracks to race those cars on!
We wrapped up LEGO KidsFest with one last swing through the Model Museum. I was most impressed with Lightning McQueen. It took a LEGO Master Builder and his team 2,000 hours to build. Lightning McQueen is made up of over 325,000 bricks and is 12 feet long by 6 feet wide. The detail is really just amazing.
LEGO KidsFest was so fun and I am glad we went. It was a great way to start our mini-vacation!
