Lego Mania!!

Last weekend there was a Lego Convention in the SLC area, so we decide to take the kids and check it out. It was pretty cool to see all the different builds that people have done. We had to start with pictures in front with the Lego man. Then we took pics and videos of some of the builds.

The details that are put into these builds is incredible.

Then Avery and Gavin got a chance to do a small build and add it to a wall.

So many different themes and characters. We saw lots of Muppets, Marvel, Harry Potter, Star Wars and many others mixed in as well.

In the back we found another place for the kids to build. This time there were tons of Lego bricks to use and two ramps set up to race cars. They hung out there for a good 45 minutes or so while Carlton and I took turns walking around to see the other builds.

Life sized Wonder Woman built by the two Moms from Utah who were on LegoMasters TV Show.

This was a huge snow scene with a mountain of skiers and a village. There were several scenes from movies in it.

I did not take the time to try to find all the movie scenes but I did spot this one from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!

Amazing build of Hogwart's with scenes from all the movies scattered around the build. This was easily 5 feet by 4 feet and about 3 feet tall.

I also got videos of the kids rolling their cars down the ramps

When we were able to tear the kids away from building, we explored a table where one guy had built an amusement park with a little village area.

When we were leaving, the kids had to do the faces and Lego Man again.

In other non-Lego news, Avery did really well in swimming last weekend. She was able to swim Chicken-Star-Rocket by herself!! It's the same thing as Elementary Backstroke. Gavin did not swim because he picked up a slight cold from school. But Avery was super proud of her accomplishment!
