Legoland

We had a very fun weekend including spending the morning in Legoland at Crown Center! It was pretty cool and we found lots of great activities including car-building, a race track, airplane-building, a 4-D movie, and much more. Above you see Chris standing with a Merlin made completely of legos. (Chris loves Merlin because we are reading a series called The Magic Tree House that includes some things about Camelot and Merlin). Chris and Brian rode the Merlin's Apprentice ride and had a great time pedaling to see how high they could go!

Chris loved the car racing section and raced our own cars until he convinced himself that he won every single race! This video may not work but you can see a little how the car racing worked...

He also found a great spot just full of random legos that could be made into boats and planes. Obviously he was in heaven when he realized that he could add as many engines as he wanted to his homemade plane!

My particularly favorite part of Legoland was the model Lego city of Kansas City. It was so cool! They had models of Union Station, Kauffman Stadium, Arrowhead, the World War I memorial and many more. If we didn't have to leave for lunch, we would have stayed longer!

On another note, last night we had dinner with a family from Christopher's class and we had a lovely time and Chris had a blast with his friend, Andy, and Andy's sister Anna. The kids played while the grown-ups visited and we just had a great time. No pictures but good times!
