Road Trip! Lego Kids Fest in Richmond, VA
Whew! Okay, where to begin.. So, this weekend was the Lego Kids Fest up in Richmond, VA. When the Fest was last in Raleigh, Brian was still pretty new to the Lego scene, and Kendall was still on the inside! We just knew Brian would get a lot more out of it now that he’s older and a Lego expert, but unfortunately, the Fest only goes to a few cities each year, and we’re not sure if it ever makes repeat visits!

Kendall noticed the Valentine’s day doll I’d picked up for her this morning! I’d put it on her bookshelf awhile ago, and waited to see when she’d find it. Today was the day, and she was SO happy!
