Will took Guillermo to the grand opening of the Lego store a few weeks ago. Guillermo has been asking to go back ever since.
We were lured to the grand opening weekend with the promise that the first 300 customers that spent $35 or more (or something like that) would get a free Lighthouse Tower Lego set. Guillermo got one, but he bought so many other things that Will didn't even show the lighthouse tower set to him (which was disappointingly small and came in a plastic bag). Guillermo came home with an Indiana Jones set, a Hyena Droid Bomber set from The Clone Wars and a bucket that he filled with Legos from the "pick a brick" section.
Others, a lot of others, were lured to the grand opening for the same reason (that, and the promise that customers could help build a life-sized Yoda) . Will says the checkout line snaked around the store and around the shopping center. A security guard had to escort shoppers from one part of the line to the other part because some of the path was blocked by a fountain. Our friend, Thomas, went with Guillermo and Will and he was the hero of the day because he did most of the waiting while Guillermo and Will shopped. All told, they waited in line for two hours (TWO!!) to get to the cash register.

G,
When we come and stay with you, would you like to go back to the LEGO store. I bet we could find something fun.
