Last month we took Adam to his first Lego Club Meeting. My parents watched Luke and Maggie, so Dave and I were able to spend some one-on-one time together with Adam.<\/p>\n

The meeting had a Star Wars theme. The kids were broken in to groups by age and given a bin full of bricks to build a space vehicle with.<\/p>\n

While the kids were building, a store employee walked around and asked them trivia questions about Star Wars. If they got their question right, they got a Lego minifigure. Adam correctly identified one of Anakin Skywalker’s children (with a hint from us, it helps to have a brother named Luke – he was a little disappointed to learn that Luke’s sister is named Leia, not Maggie).<\/p>\n

\"20140524_093405\"<\/a>After all the kids were done building, they gathered around a table and each child took a turn showing off their creation. Adam was the only one to re-purpose a Lego frying pan as a gun for his ship.<\/p>\n

\"20140524_092806\"<\/a>Each of the kids got a goody bag before they left. Adam got a Lego Star Wars t-shirt, a small Lego kit, and an R2-D2 key chain, in addition to the minifigure he got from answering his question.<\/p>\n

They didn’t get to keep their creations, but we did let him fill a bucket from the pick-a-brick wall before we left. Dave, I mean Adam, also got a Lego kit of the\u00a0Millennium Falcon before we left.<\/p>\n

On our way to the Lego event, Adam was talking about all of the things you can make with Lego bricks. He named a few things and then said that they only thing you couldn’t make was a Leaning Tower of Pisa, because it would fall over. So it was pretty funny later, when we found one on display in the store.<\/p>\n

There were a lot of fun displays to look at and Adam added a few things to his birthday wish list as we walked around.<\/p>\n

\"20140524_102154\"<\/a>We’ll have to miss the June Lego Club meeting, but we already have him signed up for the July one. He doesn’t know about it yet, but it’s a couple of days before his birthday and that month’s theme is Ninja Turtles. He’s asked me repeatedly if he can have a Lego Ninja Turtle birthday cake (a giant cookie cake to be more specific), so I am totally going to take the credit and tell him that the club meeting was special for his birthday. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
