Legos At the Science Museum!

One of our best investments… family pass at the Science Museum. With a family our size you really only need to go twice and it is paid for. I love how they have some exhibits that change. In May we went to the Lego exhibit. The kids are always game for Lego. This one was based on famous buildings. So there is a slew of pictures to enjoy.20180528_114329

I snuck off to explore the mental health exhibit. It was really well done. Check out MakeItOk.org for more information.20180528_121036

The twins spent some time building with the large Jenga style blocks that are outside the exhibit area. One of their favourite things to do.IMG_20180528_131559_864

All in all it was a lot of fun. I think each time we go everyone has a blast!20180528_114753
