Legoland and Museum of Making Music

All 6 of us got to go to Legoland together in October… a rare treat!  We signed up for both of their Mindstorm classes… “Dr. Heartbeat” and “Exploration” and loved them both.  Mindstorms is basically Lego’s robotics line, which we are huge fans of.

Rides, schm-ides!  We love just sitting at the many lego build areas and creating something fun!

A special treat:  apple fries.

Dr. Heartbeat Mindstorms:

Sarah Josh and Zac did both mindstorms classes.  You basically have a task that your robot needs to complete, and you program it to get the job done.

========================

Right around the corner from Legoland is a museum we’ve never been to, and I bought a groupon a while back, so we finally went to the Museum of Making Music.

The displays were fantastic, but oh my what a TREAT the hands-on instrument stations were!  Everyone got to try out a new musical instrument (or eight!).

What a fantastic and full day together as a family.  God is so good.
