I was able to take a rare Monday off with the family and go see the newest exhibit at the Morton Arboretum, “Nature Connects” which if you happen to love(d) playing with LEGO’s this is something to see. Over 494,000 LEGO’s, 27 sculptors led by the 1st “LEGO® Certified Professional” – Sean Kenney spending 4,170 hours make for 13 larger than life exhibits. Here are a few of my favorites…

The buck stops here, or is that “dad I can’t walk any farther”

The family of deer – 84,442 blocks // 540 Hours
