I would love to be able to bring him to a meeting so that he could be a part of a larger community. Would you please add me to any email updates about times/locations in the San Antonio area? He is very shy, but this is a hobby that he gets very excited about. Thank you so much, Betsy Davis Hi,

You get to build them. You got to build a whole city and I spy them. I will turn 6 in Februaray and if I get some more legos I will make a whole inside of a house. Legos are really cool.
