Lego KidsFest

Super Saturday fun at Lego KidsFest!!!  We have been waiting on this even for a couple of months, and it didn't disappoint!  Daddy and Pops were playing in the Club Ryder Cup Tournament, so Nana and Mommy headed downtown to the Convention Center to do some Legos!  Everyone was proud of Mommy's navigation skills, and we arrived quickly with no getting lost - starting the morning off right!  We attempted a group selfie while waiting on the elevator in the parking garage.  So excited! 
The boys couldn't contain their excitement as we walked toward the exhibit.  They crazy cheesed at the first banner they saw!
We showed our tickets and received maps of the floor, and Lincoln and Beau love to have a map.  No way would we miss anything if we stayed with our map. 
Our first stop was to create a Lego plate to add to the display.  So fun! 
A Ninja Turtle mural wall made of Legos was an amazing attraction.  Cheese!!!  
Lincoln really enjoyed the build your own super hero section.  He worked so hard to find the right Legos to make his own super hero that he named Stormer Ice Constructo Mech.  (I have no idea why he named it that, but ok!) 
We played at the track section for a long time.  Both Lincoln and Beau found a car that would go on the track thankfully.  Lincoln added lots of pieces to his car, but Beau was happy with his.  They could have stayed there forever! 
We visited more exhibits and loved Spiderman!!! 
We HAD to have a picture with Emmitt from The Lego Movie.  Lincoln really needs to point out that Emmitt has the Piece of Resistance on his back even though it can't be seen in this picture.  That's actually really important if you've seen the Lego Movie a million times . . . and we have!   
Beau spent a lot time hanging out in the Pirate Ship while Lincoln was building.  We got a lot of, "Land Ho!"  When Lincoln finally joined Beau, he gave his own commentary! 
Most of the Lego Fest was divided into small themed sections, but there was one area that was kind of a free for all . . . a mountain of a million Legos to create at your hearts desire.  Lincoln and Beau dabbled with building in the section a little, but it really was a little too overwhelming.   
Of course there was a Lego store, and it was stocked with way more things that we see at Target or the Lego Store at NorthPark.  They had some super cool Lego sets . . . which ones to buy?!?!  Lincoln had been so sure that he wanted Benny's Spaceship, and he was excited it was there.  But he also saw the Ninja Turtles Lair with bad guys trying to break in, and he just couldn't choose!  Beau found an awesome train set and needed an extra set of tracks to make his train even more cool!  It was a fun day at the Lego Kids Fest!  The boys had so much fun, and Nana and Mommy had a great time too.
