Legoes

Friday night, we had a great time putting together Trent's new Coast Guard patrol boat and tower lego set. He purchased it at the lego store in the Mall of America while he was in Minnesota last week. Trent says it is the biggest mall he has ever seen in his entire life. He says the only thing he can think to compare it to is the grand covered bazaar in Istanbul. I don't doubt it since there is a roller coaster in the middle of it. Anyhow, he shipped this set home, and the kids not so patiently waited for it. On a side note: the Coast Guard sets are available at Target, so I would imagine they aren't hard to find locally.

Huge Lego dinosaurs (BEHIND Trent, Col. Poche and Sgt. Turner in case you mistake my meaning)

We all had a lot of fun putting it together. When we were done though, the kids were like moths to a flame wanting to play with it. This, however, is Dad's toy. After several covert attempts to play with it, one resulting in the temporary loss of the surfer's hair, we packed them all up and took them to Trent's office (their intended destination) after Farm Days on Saturday.

Everyone building. Never mind Samantha. She got distracted while trying to put on her pajamas.

Done!



They look good. Don't they?


They look even better in Trent's office.

Toys for the kids...yeah I know that feeling!  I think half of the boys' toys are actually for me!
