We went to Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point to see "Nature Connects," giant LEGO sculptures being shown through the 28th of August. They were amazing. Each sculpture had an informative sign to go with it and we loved learning new things about different parts of nature and how many bricks were used to make each. We took so many pictures but I'll only post some of them here. If you get chance to see them, it's worth it.
Nichole said peacock, Jeremy said might have been peacock.
Jr. Jr. said bird bath. It was fun that it had both a squirrel and a bee on it (yes, part of the sculpture). 
Neither Jr. nor Lucky could pick a favorite.
We didn't even have to ask Jet. His favorite was definitely the ant hill. He was smiling and laughing so much when seeing his family members with their faces sticking out. He had fun with it, too, when it was his turn.
There was plenty to see besides the LEGO sculptures.
It wasn't too busy when we went in the morning in the middle of the week so there was room to feed the fish in the koi pond. There was even a turtle swimming around with the fish.
See if you can spot the turtle in this picture.
There were also lots of hummingbirds (and not just in LEGO form). Nichole was sketching when a hummingbird decided to hang out with the flowers right in front of her. You can't tell but I got a picture of the hummingbird flying right in front of her. It almost looks like it's a pendant on her necklace.
It was just really good family time.
Of course Jeremy and I had to get a picture of us in the place he proposed to me all those years ago. It's tradition.
The day we went was also Milk Chocolate Day, July 28. Like last year we drank chocolate milk.
