Lego Castle Exhibit

We spent some time visiting the Lego Castle Exhibit on Monday.  I'm pretty sure the kids will want to go back relatively soon.  I was impressed with the exhibit myself.  Lots of stuff to do and see and let's call it a day learning about basic engineering.
Abby is getting excited to go in.
Liam is preparing to joust.
A famous castle.
Robert enjoying the freedom to be out of the stroller.  Last time we went to the museum he was quite content to ride on  my back the entire time.   This time he let us know that he wanted out and expected to be part of the action.
Gabe is building a super big tower.
A knight standing guard.
Sean preparing to build walls that can withstand a catapult.
The girls on a slide.

More jousting.
We also visited the butterfly garden.  Apparently children can be scared witless by butterflies.  And apparently those same children can have parents who don't realize that if your child is screaming and scared out of their mind, it is best to remove them from the small enclosed exhibit even if you did pay for your tickets because the rest of us paid for ours as well and should not have to listen to your terrified children scream unceasingly.
 
The butterflies shared their home with several other creatures including these turtles.
Katie helped us build an arch.
Gabe on his own cooking show.
Sean manning the camera.
Brush those teeth little dude.

Liam is building a wall.
Robert going down the slide with his big brother.
Gabe found a bed that was just his size.
Riding the carousel.  Seriously, it is hard to get a decent picture when the kids are moving in circles.  And the stinking rides went up to a buck a kid which tells me the kids won't get to enjoy this treat too often.  I had to sneak off along with Gabe so he could ride the train by himself.
 
 
Maybe in the future I can get away with sending the older boys on the rides for free as the older person for the children under 4.  I imagine they will let Bryan get away with that at least.  Overall, a good time was had by all.
