Back to School and Lego Mania!

The kids have really enjoyed being back in school! Here are their pics from the first day.

Avery lost two teeth within a week of each other before school started. She was very excited to have the tooth fairy visit and loves showing the hole in her mouth to everyone!

The weekend after the first week of school, we went to the Lego Convention! This was our 4th year going, Gavin's second year submitting a build and Avery's first year submitting a build.

Avery did a build of minons camping with Lego Friends. Gavin built an indoor amusement park with a zipline. As usual there were a lot of cool builds to see.

Huge lego pirate ship!

This was a replica of a portion of the Berlin wall.

There was a chain reaction table like last year. Here are a couple videos showing different parts of the chain reaction:

Then we saw a Pirates of the Caribbean display:

We also got to see some "celebrities" at the convention! For those of you who watch LegoMasters, some of the contestants from Season 5 were at this convention. The kids were able to talk to several of them and get autographed trading cards that all the LegoMasters contestants get!

We talked to Corey and Nick but didn't get pictures with them. We did get to see some of their builds at the convention and the kids enjoyed learning what it was like to be on LegoMasters! It was a fun day checking out all the different builds and the kids got excited thinking about what they want to build for the convention next year!
