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.

Like life, the path wasn’t clear.

But there was cool stuff along the way.

Then your family decides they don’t want to follow you up a grown-in logging road anymore.

“It was still fun right guys!?!”

After a long day at Santa’s Village, the best you can do for yourself is stay in a Yurt up at Milan Hill State Park. Trust.

The next day we went Kayaking with Mark and Sara Charest. The kids weren’t invited.

Noah and my parents were lucky enough to be invited for dinner at the yurt though.
