On Wednesday night we went to Legoland Discovery Center with the Bounce Children’s Foundation. We normally don’t go out on school nights, but we thought it would be something cool for James to see. We were not disappointed. When I was a kid, I was excited to put together a Lego kit that was not much bigger than my hand. I was truly amazed at the things they can build with Legos. I don’t think these pictures do it justice. If you have the opportunity to go to a Legoland Discover Center, you should go.

Cardboard boxes sit on the floor nearby, and a small red sign is partially visible behind the sculpture. The scene feels lively and colorful, highlighting detailed LEGO artistry and a fun public display.
