Charlie and I love in Haltom City which is about 30 minutes from Dallas, Texas and so when I found out Lego KidsFest would be coming to Dallas I knew it would be something Charlie would enjoy. So I plan on purchasing tickets soon as they will make a nice Birthday Gift or a nice Stocking Stuffer for this Christmas.
This will be our second time to attend Lego KidsFest and I have learned to block out the whole day because once we arrive Charlie does not want to leave. But the cool thing is David enjoys it just as much as Charlie does. So it makes a wonderful family friendly outing and we do not have to worry about there being things in it we would not want Charlie to see.
If you have not had the chance to take your families I hope you do soon as I know you will enjoy it just as much as my family does.
