Legos. They still rule at our house. Both boys play with them daily. So when we headed to California, we originally planned to go to Legoland. However, we packed our short visit with too much as it was and that was the trip that got nixed. The boys were okay with that (Disneyland isn’t too shabby of a replacement) when we promised we would take them to Legoland in Chicago for Mac’s birthday. Mac had last Friday off, so we headed up! Where Legoland California is an amusement park, Chicago’s Legoland is a Discovery Center…just a tad smaller…….and not quite as exciting…..but the boys still had a blast and Mac was allowed to pick out his birthday present there.
I really wanted to bring one of the large mini-figures home with us! They were really adorable. Oh and in the building section, they had earthquake tables. Patrick had a blast watching things fall down that he had made. I took a video and of course, not thinking, I turned it sideways and then it when I rotated it, you couldn’t see the tower! So I left it sideways, but you get the idea!
