AWESOME LEGO PARTY

Drew had his birthday party today. It was at City Bricks, Freight House Square in Tacoma. The place ROCKED.  We left a little early to get some food and what we had at the food court was pretty good. Mark ordered the two fish fish and chips and they gave him three. He liked it.
When we first walked in, we saw a table full of random bits of legos. Mark and I both thought, hmmm. Well, we should not have even blinked an eye. There were 12 boys and two girls,  and they were all playing around the table, almost silently. Each working on his own bit, there was no fighting, no tugging over parts. It was a wonder! And we can't wait to repeat it at Lon's party!
The table with Legos. All around the room are bins with the legos they use to build custom Lego creations.   They are working on several for clients in Seattle. The one of the Synagogue in Seattle is going to be beautiful when it is done. The stained glass work was impressive.

The Lego engineer (certified even) answering questions and helping the boys and two girls with design problems The kids you don't see at this table are looking at the other things around the studio or across the hall
Birthday Boy!

Sharing

Lon is building his creation. It is a spaceship called Peanut One
The Roman Legion


The Star Wars Table.
Across the hall, there was another studio. There were 4 trains, working. Around a beautifully built city.

The Space Needle.  Out of Legos. How cool is that?

Drew, hard at work

Getting some advice on how to proceed on Peanut One

Star Wars cookies. Made by me.

Showing off the coolest things built out of Legos. Imperial Star Cruisers.  Lon is fascinated. If he wanted to be a lego engineer before, this has cemented it.  He still wants to be a US Navy Blue Angels Pilot, but when he is not flying he wants to design and build lego creations
Cool little things made from little bits of legos. One of the little ships only had thirty legos!

Blowing out the candles. There was yummy pizza too. It was a great time. Lon did not want to leave.
This party was the coolest party ever. I think I heard that about 34 times on the way home!

WOW! What a great party. Where do you find LEGO bits? Do you ever see them at Goodwill? Does Ty have any left over LEGO bits?
Love,
Mom

Goodwill puts them on their auction site now not their stores.
