Pardon the pun, but we discovered the building blocks of a great weekend! Our two-day trip to the Twin Cities started with a visit to the Children's Museum in St. Paul, which is featuring a special exhibit on LEGOs. Much to my kids' delight, they weren't just any LEGOs, they were castle-themed. That meant knights and princesses.
There were all sorts of impressive statues made out of LEGOs - numerous castles, plus this fully armored knight.
And what castle would be complete without a fiercesome dragon? (And yes, that's my beloved offspring sticking his finger in the dragon's nostril. "I'm picking his nose," AJ giggled.)
Of course there were also numerous places for kids to build their own creations. There were three different areas, each featuring different sizes of LEGOs for various ages and abilities. And they had pink LEGOs. Sydney was in Heaven.
For AJ, the highlight was the jousting area. That's a "horse" he's wearing as he runs toward the target.
I had to remind him more than once to let other kids have a turn. He was having so much fun!
Sydney's favorite part was the princess costumes - hooded capes. She looked a bit like a boxer as she ran around the exhibit. The first time through, she wore a purple cape. Then before we left, we stopped back for a few minutes more and she found a pink one.
I don't think we even made it out of St. Paul before Sydney started asking, "Next time, can we go back to the museum again?"
I'll have to check how much longer the exhibit is there, because yes, it'd definitely be fun to bring them back again.
