Super seniors

Lara, I wonder if your life has yet been overruled by Legos?  Mine certainly has, and almost every other toy in the house sits unused, though I am not allowed to even discuss getting rid of them!  The boy's school started a Lego team that meets weekly for two months to build a project based on a specific theme, which this year, was "Super Seniors."  As in, senior citizens.  There is a national organization that supports and organizes this program that integrates Legos with math, science, and robotics, and they set the theme for each year.  All the local schools participate in a show and ceremony at the science museum.  It was pretty funny to see what these 5-9 year old kids thought of to help out senior citizens!  Then we had some time to run around the museum, and as usual, we ended up mostly in the kid-sized play-market, a place that makes you really wish you were a kid!
