Lego fest!

We went up to Cincinnati this weekend for Lego Fest!  Nyla actually took this picture:


I'm glad we taught her to use a camera; otherwise it's hard to get pictures of both Wyndee and I together.

Wyndee and Nyla made Lego mosaics:


Nyla's (left) is two rafts floating in the water.  Wyndee's (right) is a beautiful, moonlight evening.  Most of the day was spent playing with Legos, whether in the big brick pile:


or in several of the themed building areas.  Nyla's favorite was the girl-oriented Lego Friends area, with lots of pink and light blue bricks, but also a lot of cool pieces for making houses: big windows, columns, arches, pillars, etc.  Celia is a little too young to really build a whole lot, but we watched one of the lego competitions.  In the one we watched, teams of kids had to build a lego bridge about 4 feet long and the winner was the bridge that could support the most weight.  The winning bridge supported 25 pounds.  Nyla also really liked vacuuming up Legos:


But the activity that made for the best pictures was our tour of the Lego model museum:




Unfortunately, Celia and I made Lego Bruce Banner angry:




Wyndee and Lego Hermione became friends:


A giant Lego shark ate our two children, but luckily they later emerged unscathed:
