Lego Kids Fest

Do you love everything Lego at your house?  

Cause we think they're awesome!

Which is why when we found out Lego Kids Fest was coming to Dallas, we decided it would be worth the Lego-sized admission price to get in.  

We found the Convention Center after having adventures in parking and walking through a (luckily empty) homeless nest under a bridge.  Once we walked in, we saw all these sculptures.

Yes, Joy wanted to take her picture with every single one. 

It could have been a stalling technique since half of these were taken as we were about to leave.

But she loved all of them.

Here is The Captain in front of the giant pile of Legos.  There were at least a million in the pile.  Possibly more.  Children were getting buried in them like sand.

Here's another picture of the giant pile.  I wanted to take a bird's eye view, so I jumped up on one of the folding chairs surrounding it, but unfortunately, the cushioned top of these folding chairs was on a pivot hinge, so the chair collapsed, my leg went down, scraping and bruising my ankle, then it tipped the other way, causing me to fall off.  It happened in stages and was quite painful as I bruised my knee, elbow, and right under my bum, but it was also embarrassing as it happened right by another mom, and 2 gentlemen came to see if I was okay.  So 5 minutes after arriving, I was already minorly injured.  So you don't get a bird's eye view, this will have to do instead.  

Making cars.  Lee is practicing her flying skills.

Down the hill!

They had booths for all the different Lego sets with different activities for the kids/adults to do.

There was figure battling at the Ninjago booth.

Also these huge ball baring mazes.

Tops and obstacle courses at Legends of Chima.

Joy made trees.

A mono-chromatic build.  (No we didn't make all of that)

Joy was playing at the Lego Friends booth.  She had to be pulled away from that one.  The only other thing that entertained her that much wasn't even a Lego booth, it was a booth for a local company that had a foam track to build for tennis-sized balls.   

This was our last booth of the day, the Lego Movie booth were we shot bullets at the bad guys and knocked them over.  

This is by no means a comprehensive picture of all of what was available at the Kids Fest.  This is less than half of the booths, but we didn't go to all of them, and I got a little tired (and injured), so let's just say fun was had by all.
