That rocks.  It sounds like there's a lot of local interest in Lego where
you're at.

Yeah, where I used to live I could barely get my best friend to get into lego,
let alone the school... (then again, there weren't any AFOLs to help me... I
was nine myself... :)


Interesting conversation between 2 kids helping me take apart the train
track - one of them the 9-your-old Mindstorms builder

Wow.  Nine!  It sounds like he really has a talent and / or a passion for
engineering.  I want to see what cool things he's done in 5 years.

I'm baby-sitting two five-y/o twins that have a lot of lego, it's really
interesting. One of them hogs all the lego and builds pretty nice stuff.
The other one, OTOH, usually stays away from the lego and only wants to play
with the minifigs.
Then they got a relative's old collection, with lots of technic pieces.
Suddenly the second kid was all over it, ecstatic and creating some cool,
moving creations... (they weren't actually FUNCTIONAL, but heck, he's only
five!) He seems to have some potential for that kinda stuff.

I'll bet the mindstorm kid had some similar experiences ;-)

BTW, Kevin, sounds like you had a great time!
