LEGO FunFest

Today we borrowed a couple of kids and went to the Lego Funfest at the convention center. It was crowded and loud and overall pretty cool. I didn't take too many photos because there were always other people taking photos, with their kids, you just didn't want to get in the way.

Probably the highlight of the thing were some large figures. Like these:

The red bricks were sponsored by Target and in their area you were supposed to build things for their dog Bullseye. They even put out little suggestion sheets. I followed their suggestion and did this:

The kids had fun and I was mildly entertained, so I guess the trip was a success.
