Lego Weekend

This past weekend we flew up to Seattle to attend Northwest BrickCon 2007 and we had a blast! Despite hours of careful packing, Ryan's creations did not arrive as he had hoped so Friday and part of Saturday were spent rebuilding. We also had a couple of problems displaying my mosaic because the large easel Ryan borrowed from work had a hard time holding the weight, but it all worked out in the end.



Skinny Ryan rebuilding his floating rock and eating Lego. I now understand why I've seen Lego with teeth marks at home.

The floating rock display. The shorter one with the red roof is also Ryan's.



The mosaic window display. It was a good idea for them to display them like this so you could get enough distance to be able to see them well, but the glare was really bad for pictures.



My first creation!



Helping build the tallest Cafe Corner.

I'm 167 Lego bricks tall.



Ryan is 180 Lego bricks tall.

We had such a great time, but the weekend went by way too fast. We've decided that we need to get there a day sooner and leave a day later next year.

Looks like it was a fun weekend. Your mosaic and Ry's rocks look great. I'm glad you guys had a fun time. Next time you go you will have a little one so we'll babysit for you.
