This past weekend

So did you guess what we did this last weekend? I, for one, put the big TV to the test and watched as many basketball games as I could. Can't believe that Purdue ended the season so poorly, but we are thrilled to watch Butler in the Sweet Sixteen again! Go Dawgs! And also, a couple of my other favorites are still in it. I can hardly wait until Thursday. I read in the newspaper that a Lego convention was in town. I casually mentioned this to Uncle Kevin and within the half hour, the Seiberts were planning a trip down!
It was pretty much out of control. This was my favorite display. Not only was it three levels and had three different trains, you could also press buttons to make the ferris wheel or merry go round turn, or to set a building on "fire". I spoke to the creator of this display. I believe that he has a very understanding wife.

At some other displays, there were lighted "inner workings" on display.


This was the inside of the mini Lucas Oil Stadium that had a working retractable roof. Pretty cool. That's a lot of mini figs.

This drew quite a crowd because there were all kinds of things that you could look for like a chiropractor or Buzz Lightyear.

Another personal favorite. I have a soft spot for the space shuttle.

After a while, Tessa was in need of a cuddle. The troops were getting worn out.
There was a big table full of gray blocks that you could create your own Lego sculpture.

Annalise made an "elephant head"

evie and her creation. By this time, Natalie kept telling us that she was hungry so we decided to hit the chic-fil-a

On the way out of the convention center, we had to take a look at the hot rod convention. And there was also the firemen's convention going on. Oliver was in heaven.
