In October, Lego opened a new store in Madison Square Park. To celebrate they held an event where kids (and some adults) could help create a replica of the Statue of Liberty.

A couple weekends ago we went to see Kara Walker’s sculptures in the soon to be destroyed Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg with the LA kids and the Hsiao’s (Jerry, Amanda, Mae, and Leni). Here’s a nice article from the New Yorker if you want a little backstory.

After the show, and before lunch I wanted to check out a camping store. Mae and Noah didn’t.

Leni was cool with it though!
