Legos in the Garden

My parents have been visiting us for a month and we have been very busy seeing some local sights in our area.  Recently we ventured to the local Botanical gardens where they were holding a Lego exhibition.  We enjoyed walking throughout the garden looking for the lego sculptures.

We found another St. Louis Birthday Cake right outside the gardens

The Lego exhibit is running until mid September and did cost a little bit extra to see

There was a scavenger hunt for the kids to complete -- the first  lego sculpture found was a  tiller

with a hidden lego man beneath:)

Beside each sculpture was a sign letting us know how many legos it took to build each design the most we saw was 60,000 legos

Firedrake no longer wants to be in photos as much so I had to sneak this one in because she was with us:)

Even the bird feeder had legos in it:)

We had a fun day exploring the lego creations and the Botanical gardens with my parents.  We are enjoying having them visit us and of course they are spoiling the kids rotten while they are here:)!
