I'm so sad that my Dad missed going to this by one day! The kids had a great time at Kidfest in Hartford. The Lego layouts were incredible. They also got to build with Legos and made a Christmas tree ornament for charity. They rode on a train, played in a bounce house and looked at lots and lots of Legos. They had many motorized Legos, like trains and a ferris wheel. They also had lots of life size Legos from Star Wars characters to Harry Potter, Santa and even Mark Twain (pictured above with Scott). The attention to detail was really fun to see.
When we were waiting in line (a short line I might add because we got there before 10 am. The lines later became enormous and they had to stop letting people in because they had reached fire code capacity) a lady approached us and offered us two free adult passes to the show, $28 value. I thought that was really nice. Then a minute later another lady gave us a free child pass, $12. We only had to pay for one child (Ruby was free) and the man at the ticket booth was very confused that a family of five was only buying one ticket.
We also learned that Scott's monorail Lego set he has had since he was a kid is valuable. They don't make it anymore and many of the Lego clubs collect it.
You need to take your boys to Legoland! My boys think it's the coolest place ever.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun with your parents and got to see Sherm & Erica and go to NYC.
I'm glad Scotty shaved off the beard and mustache. That WAS creepy!
