With all of the hoopla of birthdays and holidays and life, well, Isaac's special day kinda took the back burner.
But we finally got our act together and gave the boy what he wanted . . . a special day with just mom and dad at a Lego Club Meeting.
The night before the meeting, we ate Isaac's favorite dinner (corndogs), took an evening walk to a new house being built (envious attic space), and watched one of his favorite movies (Speed Racer).
I have never heard the kid talk so much!
He just kept jabbering on and on and on . . .
It was really nice.
By 7:00 am on Saturday, Isaac was up, dressed, and ready to go to the Lego Club Meeting.
He was so excited!
At the meetings they each get a T-shirt and a bag of Legos to take home with them.
He wore the shirt for the rest of the day and told everyone (and I really mean everyone) he saw where he got it and how awesome it was.
Isaac also chose (surprise) to wear his T-shirt to school today. He'll probably ask again tomorrow and the next day and the next day . . .
The Lego people (store employees) asked the kids trivia questions before the meeting started. If someone answered the question right, then they got a little Lego flower which they could exchange for a mini figure at the end of the meeting.
Isaac didn't win one, but that's OK.
Do you see the Lego creation next to him?
That is the bottom half of Mario.
It took him about 2 minutes to do it.
He was still working on it while they were asking questions, which is probably why he didn't get a little flower.
There were only seven kids (including two 10 year old girls which surprised me), so they were broken into two groups to play two of the different new Lego games.
Isaac's group started with the game Minotaurus. It's sort of like Sorry.
There were four kids in his group, ranging in age from six to nine.
This is by far the game Isaac has been most drawn to on the Lego website, so he really enjoyed playing it.
It's funny, he's seen it on Lego.com so much that he feels he knows all of the rules. So while the instructor was explaining it, Isaac kept jumping in and trying to explain it himself. A couple of times they had to say, "OK, Isaac, hang on."
Then the groups switched games, and Isaac's group went to play Monster 4. It's a little like Connect 4.
As they were playing, I walked around and took some random shots of the store.
The Pick-a-Brick Wall is probably the coolest thing ever!
It has lots of little buckets attached to the wall and filled with Legos.
You can buy a small cup or a large cup and fill them to the top with any random assortment of the Legos on the wall.
Keychains . . .
These little holes are all over the store.
Each one has a different scene to peek at.
I like the Sumo guy.
This was up by the cash register.
Not sure what's going on but pretty sure I don't want to be involved!
I found this magazine (for sale) on a shelf somewhere in the store.
Looked at the front . . . Lego this, Lego that.
Flipped it over and saw . . . WSU! With a little Wu-shock on top.
In a magazine, in a store, in NC.
Just weird.
Finally it was time to go.
Our time at the Lego Club Meeting had come to a close.
And although Isaac didn't win a mini figure, he still played around and built one.
