A LEGO Store opened up at the Fashion Place mall a couple years ago, and Ethan has been asking for us to go see it ever since. When we heard there would be an event where they were handing out small Lego sets to kids, we figured we would give it a try.
When we got to the mall, we were surprised to find Lego sculptures all throughout the mall. This weekend there was a tour of America history based on Legos, with sculptures ranging from a life-size Liberty Bell, a person-sized Statue of Liberty, to a twenty-foot long Capitol Building. We forgot to bring the stroller and Rebecca carried Seth whilst I held the younger kids’ hands, so we couldn’t take many pictures, but did get this one with the Lego Liberty bell:
After we explored some of the mall, looking at the different sets, we finally made it to the Lego Store, where the kids went wild asking for various sets. I overheard an employee talking about the free sets to someone else, and then asked about it only to find out they ran out of sets within the first hour, but the kids could still do a scavenger hunt which was part of the deal to earn a set. We decided not to do it, then made our way through the rest of the mall to see the other displays before leaving.
