Lego Kids Fest Atlanta 2014

LEGO® KidsFest

Lego Kids Fest is coming to the Cobb Galleria on June 27-29 at the Cobb Galleria Centre, Atlanta, GA. I don’t know if I was more excited or my soon to be eleven year when I made the big announcement. My son is a Lego fanatic! If you don’t believe me just take a look at my mantle piece, it’s filled with some of his Lego Creations. I say some very loosely because this kid request Legos for great report card, birthdays, Christmas, Easter and even when his tooth comes out. My son also saves his money to purchase his Lego sets as well. This will be a great addition to the many memories that we have created as a family. I welcome you to take a look into my sons Lego World. These are just some of his many creations.
