It's a BOY!

The day finally came to find out what we are having. The halfway mark in the pregnancy and what an exciting point. I feel great and don't look ginormous yet. Although I need to rein in on my sweet tooth. So we went to the doctor and did the anatomy scan ultrasound. The baby has a healthy heart rate of 150bpm and includes 10 fingers and 10 cute toes. And to our joy there was no doubt this was a little baby boy.

LegoFest 2012

We made it to the long anticipated LegoFest in Denver. I planned on buying tickets when we decided to mosey downtown over the weekend but it was a good thing I looked up some information online about the festival Friday morning. The event was almost completely sold out. I bought tickets to ensure our entry to this traveling exhibit.

We piled into the convention center with tons of other kids and parents with excitement. Up front were displays of life size characters built completely out of legos. Here is Batman standing on a gargoyle ready for some action.

 In the middle of the room was a bottomless pit of legos for kids to walk into and play with. Most of the room around this pit was split into lego games, races, and building seminars for all ages.

 Another section included a gigantic layout of the US being filled in with lego creations. We decided to participate and build little houses to place into the growing display. I am not sure what Matt's house on the left is about but my house on the right includes multiple diving boards off all sides of the home and wings on the top to fly away with. It was a blast to build these but same colored pieces were hard to come by.

 Here is a picture of the USA being filled in with the masterpieces. An truly some were.

 Here is me inside the head of a roaring lion. It was a blast and I got my lego fix. I cannot wait to build lego cities with our little man. I sure do hope he likes legos!
