Eric-

After we finished putting it up Friday night, Susan and I could not resist going back the next day to see visitor reactions. It is certainly a be must-take photo-op spot. It’s visible from outside the park entrance and the boat ride comes right up to it from behind as well.

We’re glad we just reassembled it from pre-built half-stripes this time instead of building from near-scratch like we did last year (with park guests helping). When we did that last year, it was hot (as in H-O-T) and we didn’t finish until about an hour past park close. (For whatever reason (younger age, I think), LLCA park guests were not as productive as OC Fair visitors).

I’m thinking about making a bigger version in the future, say about 500,00 bricks...

I am sure you sweat your worth as you worked! Hot hot hot I know. Funny thing is the park-goers probably didn’t know what great building skills you and your family have!

I am a big fan of the US Flag, so seeing such a nice version made from actual Lego is a joy to see.
