Larger than Life







Recently, Daniel has really gotten interested in Legos (thanks to the influence of his best friend, Drake). Due to his intrest, he got some Lego sets for Christmas, has bought some with his own money, and got some as gifts from family and friends. We have really enjoyed putting these creations together. Daniel and Maggie have also just started making their own creations and playing with them.

At Christmas, Daniel wanted to buy Drake some Legos for Christmas (since he knew that he liked them), so we went to an outlet mall that had a Legos store. We have since been back several times. The store has a Darth Vader made out of Legos so we were excited when we saw that they were going to be building an 8' R2-D2.

It was a three day event and the kids were able to help out by making Lego "bricks" for the R2 made up of numerous little legos put together. Daniel and Maggie made several bricks.

Once they made some bricks they turned them in to get a coupon to take to the Legos store for a certificate of participation. While we were there we learned that the R2-D2 would be completed the next day, left on display for an hour before being taken down to travel to the next city.

So we decided to go back the next day to see the finished product and get our picture taken with the larger than life Legos R2-D2.
