LEGO Brick Fest Live Lets LEGO Lovers Get Their Brick Fix! #BrickFest

One of our summer day trips recently took us to Brick Fest Live at the Meadowlands Expo Center in New Jersey. Our kids are huge LEGO fans, so this was something they were really looking forward to. We arrived at the center for one of the 4 hour sessions.

When we walked in we were immediately greeted by a full size Woody from Toy Story figure made entirely out of LEGO bricks. We looked at amazing LEGO structures of all kinds-motorized, glow-in-the-dark and one of a kind creations like the full size portrait of Bonnie Raitt.

Then they tried some hands on fun in the huge pit of red LEGO bricks of every shape and size. My kids loved sitting in a sea or red LEGO bricks and building structures they could then leave for all to see on a display table.

There was a LEGO brick character to take pictures with, LEGO miniature golf, free build areas where you could design your own creations on vertical panels adding to a LEGO billboard of design. Build creations and add them to the LEGO City. Build a race car then race against others. There was a section for little LEGO lovers that featured multiple sit and build play space filled with single color Duplo blocks.

Of course there were vendors where you could find all kinds of minifigures or build your own, find that rare figure you were looking for and even a bargain LEGO club deal that we could not pass up. Our kids had a great time and came home with some custom minifigures, a Hulk LEGO, the T-Shirt, backpack, and LEGO building sets and accessories deal.

If you have LEGO lovers big or small and have the opportunity to attend Brick Fest Live you will not be disappointed. Have you been to a LEGO Brick Fest Live event? If so, I would love to hear about your experience. Please tell me about it in the comments. If you are planning a trip I would love to hear that as well too.

Our Trip To The Big Apple Circus In Lincoln Center To See Metamorphosis

A couple of weeks ago, on Saturday, we went to New York City for the last Saturday performance of The Big Apple Circus in Lincoln Center. The theme of the show was Metamorphosis and it was a spectacular show. It was an entirely different show than 2 years ago when we saw them in Lincoln Center and it was filled with fun, death-defying acts and adorable animals. My kids were wide-eyed during the entire performance and my husband and I were just as amazed.

The Big Apple Circus not only impresses with their stupendous performers, but in the way they treat their animals, the way they give back to the community and how they help bring laughter to sick children and the elderly. They even have Autism Friendly shows.

Francesco, The Musical Clown is the first performer to see and he gets right in the audience supposedly searching for his seat. He keeps us entertained throughout the circus and is absolutely hysterical. The quick change Smirnov Duo still has my husband and I shaking our heads with how they do what they did. We saw it but it does not seem possible. There were many performances that had us asking, “How did they do that?” Trapeze artists, contortionists, jugglers and amazing feats of all kinds has us still talking. Ringmaster, John Kennedy Kane keeps us on top of everything under the big top. If you get a chance to attend, you should, it will make memories for a lifetime.

Check out the cities and dates to see if there is a performance near you. You can buy tickets HERE and follow them on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. You can check out more pictures from our trip to the circus on Instagram.
