I had gifted Sandy a trip to the Mansfield Art Center to see the Lego exhibit. We finally made the time to go this past Saturday. Madison had asked to go, and Sandy had graciously said it would be fun to have her along. We planned to eat at an Indian restaurnat in Mansfield, but when we arrived, we figured out that they are not open for Saturday lunch. (Really, who is NOT open for Saturday lunch??) So, we headed to Olive Garden instead. Madison was very happy about the big girls date and getting to eat in a restaurant. The art show was really unique and very cool. The artist, Nathan Sawaya, gave up his job as a lawyer to “play with toys.” His creations are truly amazing! There was a photographer who worked with him and took pictures with the lego pieces as a part of a otherwise normal shot. Those were creative as well. Here are a few of his creations:
Also, in the center they had an interactive area for kids to create with legos. Madison worked on 1) observing those around her and 2) building a tall tower with small blocks. I am not sure which one she spent more time doing.
We ended the date by going to Meijer – oh, how I have missed you, Meijer. (Some people long for Targets; I have a sweet spot for Meijer.) Madison enjoys Meijer, too, because she gets to ride her favorite horse, Sandy, for 1 penny. You just can’t beat that!
