Our family likes celebrating holidays: major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, 4th of July), biblical feasts (Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Purim), holidays from cultures that we did not originate from (Lunar New Year, St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo), and obscure national days (Earth Day, National Gingerbread House Day, National Donut Day, Mario Day, Star Wars Day, Siblings Day).
For National Siblings Day I attempted to take my tween/teens to see a temporary LEGO exhibit. We’re all huge LEGO fans in our house! That was a nice idea. Unfortunately, when we arrived there were 6 school buses out front and the parking lot was completely full – so I changed my mind.
Waste of time ✅
Waste of fuel ✅
Still not worth going in with 300+ school children present ✅
We tried again a few weeks later and this time we went on a weekend – no field trips! I’d honestly rather go on a crowded weekend with a bunch of other families than go with public school field trips. Luckily, it really wasn’t very crowded at all when we visited. 
If you ever have an opportunity to see a LEGO art exhibit, I highly recommend it. It’s amazing what people can do with LEGO bricks. Seeing art like this stretches the mind and imagination to encompass more of what’s possible for one’s own life/problems/circumstances.
Have you ever seen LEGO art or art using another unique medium?
