This morning I took Adam to the Lego Store for a Ninja Turtle event.
It wasn’t run nearly as well as the last one we went to (unfortunately). Instead of having trivia and a show-and-tell at the end, the kids just built things for a while and then got their goody bags.
Adam still had fun though, so that’s all that really matters. He spent some time creating things to help the turtles defeat their enemies. He made a trap, a space ship, and a small island.
He loved checking out the displays and adding things to his wishlist. He got a Lego Ninja Turtle t-shirt, a small Lego set, and a separate turtle figure in his goody bag. Before we left I also let him fill a container with bricks from the pick-a-brick wall (this was his reward for not biting his finger nails, something he’s been working on for a while).
I picked up a couple of things while we were there too (Dave might not let us visit the Lego Store unsupervised again). We’re planning on making Adam a Lego desk as part of his birthday gift (just 5 days until he’s 5!) and we needed some large base plates for the top. I also got a smaller one to use as a prop for his pictures. Hopefully my visions turn out as well as I’m planning.
Luke slept through the last twenty minutes of it, but both boys loved it (Dave said it was pretty good too). I’m looking forward to seeing it when it comes out on DVD.
