LEGO Store Opening

This is a model of the large one they are building.

Kade was invited to the LEGO Store Grand Opening (along with pretty much every other person in the valley). I decided that since the kids had a half day at school on the Friday of the Grand Opening Weekend that I would take them to the mall and let them help build the 8 foot Yoda the Master Builders were building. We got there and it wasn't really crowded. I was so happy! We had no trouble building our bricks.

Then we got in a short line to hand our bricks to the Master Builders.

Then we were supposed to get certificates saying we had helped build Yoda, but the line for the certificates wrapped around the mall! It was crazy. Luckily, the kids weren't too attached to the certificates and I was able to convince them that we didn't need them. 

Besides, Rachel had peed all over herself and I didn't have a change of clothes for her. (I hope my Grandma isn't reading this right now or she'd be so mad that I left the house without a change of clothes for my kids.)
