Lego Brickworld
I got a chance to attend the Lego Brickworld Exposition in Chicago Land with my friend Jill, her boys, a bunch of the boys' friends, and my son. The event was part of a birthday celebration for one of Jill's boys.
What is Lego Brickworld? Imagine a large convention center with over 60,000 square feet dedicated to Lego creations - some small, many big, all very creative and amazing. Here are some of my favorite photos from our visit.
Numerous street scenes
Trains galore
Medieval Scenes:
Even an Amusement park with moving rides.
The ferris wheel not only went around and around, but it would occasionally pause with a car at the bottom, as if new passengers were coming aboard. Very clever!
The Smurfs were right at home.
I overheard the creator of this scene - the Smurf figurines were custom produced!
The Lego figurines lead such interesting lives!
Of course, the visit isn't complete without a group picture of the boys with Batman!
If you ever get the chance to attend one of these expositions, they are totally worth it - admission was a mere $10.
Here is the entire collection of photos, in a (flash) slide show:

I think the only word to describe this post is: Awesome! (Can you tell I recently saw the Lego Movie).
So cool! I would love to see it. I love the trees.
I am always amazed at what people make with Legos. Super cool!
I don't know who would have liked this better, me ,my kids, or my grandson. I have got to look for this next year. Great photos, I am sending the link to your post to my kids.
I bet that was fun, I love Lego! :-)
