Lego Land

The children and I took off last week on a mini adventure. I told them we were going somewhere for a few days but they didn't know where.
These were a few of the boy's clues...

#1 Billard, Denmark (Lego's were invented there)
#2 Ole Kirk Christiansen (Lego inventor)
#3 Agua (water, swimming at the hotel)
#4 East (direction we were headed)
Yes, they guessed it! They saw Ole Kirk Christiansen's name on the Lego box the day before we left :) I knew they'd get it!

We went to the LegoLand Discovery Center in Chicago. This trip has been anticipated for months by the boys.
It is amazing what people can make from Lego's. This Lego Man greeted us at the door. He made a horrible farting noise that scared the daylights out of Gabrielle.

We toured a Lego Jungle...

Saw a swinging Lego Monkey...

Met Lego Obama...

Had a lot of fun!

Made friends with Lego R2d2..

Built with huge plastic foam like Lego's....

Went on a mini tour of how they make Lego's and got some fresh Lego's of our own...

And Saw Mini Lego Chicago... it was very impressive!
(yesterday's picture was apart of the Chicago display too)

If you're ever in Chicago and have Lego lovers, you'll want to stop in! Be sure to buy your tickets online, you'll save a few bucks.
