Well, the Raleigh LEGO® KidsFest is currently underway
and going strong! When my family and I arrived in Raleigh
(after a two and a half hour car ride), the sign stated that
ALL
sessions had been sold out ahead of time! Not surprising.
LEGO® sets and everything that goes with them are all the
rage these days. My kids are fans as well. Even though it is
my oldest who absolutely adores LEGO® anything, my other
two had an absolute blast! How can you not? When you
arrive and overlook all that awaits you it is quite
overwhelming. My oldest son looked at me and expressed
that it was the best day of his life! He could hardly believe it!
Life size creations made of LEGO® bricks around every
corner, games, activites and of course the big brick pile in
the middle!
After hanging out in the brick pile, we found some activites to
join in on. There was one where you would have two minutes
to create something that began with a certain letter. It was
cute. They had fun trying to beat the clock and then in the
end, everyone won a prize! There were so many things
going on that honestly, even with being there over four
hours, we never got to it all!
My boys sat in on a session with a Master Builder who
taught new and exciting ways to make creations out of the
bricks. Then they had their hand at making their own
creations. At the end, they were able to show it to the Master
Builder, which to them was quite a big deal!
There was another place where the kids were able to make
creations and then one of the staff would put them in a
display case for everyone to see. The kids loved that as well!
My five year old's highlight was when they were able to race
remote control cars, made of bricks of course! My three year
old seemed to enjoy LEGO® city the most. She was able to
make her own little car and play with it around the city! It
was cute watching her enjoying herself in a city made of
LEGO® bricks!
They all had a blast and even had saved money over the
past few months to spend at the store. They each bought
their own set with their own money. It was neat watching
them being able to buy what they wanted after having tithed
and put money away in their savings account. Being able to
save up the extra money seemed like hard work but in the
end it was worth it for them! And I think it meant more as
well!
