Behold.. an 8 year old Lego lovers dream come true!
In my neck of the woods there lives an A.F.L... "Adult Fan of Legos." This particular "AFL" has an amazingly jaw dropping collection of Legos and just so happens to work for the BSA or Boys Scouts of America. You combine those 2 together and get: The BrickScout Jamboree. Long story short, this cool guy/scout master from another ward invited my little cub pack to attend this fabulous event... a day full of games, building, trivia and competition ALL things LEGO!!
Just a few pictures from the big day.....
 |
| One of the many and totally clever games to play around the gym. Mr. Jack actually took 1st place......he was very pumped about that. Good thing Cole came to visit at lunch time and wore his smarty pants...I'm just sayin. |
 |
| Jack's Harry Potter creation. |
 |
| The "Whomping Willow" ...or something like that. |
 |
| Mini figures everywhere.... |
 |
| The Wolf and Hogwarts |
 |
| Cole and Kyle competing in the "speed build" round. Everyone got a random bag of legos and built something cool in the 5 minute time limit. Judges came around and picked a winner. Skittles just for trying....now isn't everyone a winner with that result?! |
 |
| A photographer from Boy's Life magazine was there to document the whole event. Word on the street is that sometime in the months to come these Lego lovers will grace the pages of this fine publication. |
 |
| Pretty cool huh?! This was such a fun activity that obviously took a ton of planning and effort to pull off. We felt really lucky to get the invite. So there you have it. The ideas are already spinning for next year. |

You are pulling my LEG! (that's all I had) What a fun activity! That makes me smile when people not only share their talents, but their STUFF and when they do it in the name of the Boy Scouts makes my heart soar! The Whomping Willow with the car up in the tree is PERFECT! Give that guy a high-five from me.
