James - King for the Day, on his throne of Lego blocks.
I've found my Knight in Shining Armour . . . No! Not the one I'm gazing up at . . . the one who is taking the picture!
The statues of Lego were incredible - mind boggling to look at. The boys were suitably impressed, they are a bit of Lego-maniacs themselves, . . . and yet . . . I wonder . . . if somewhere in those little minds of theirs. . . if they weren't secretly wishing they could knock the knight down, just to see the great Lego crash it would make. And then of course, if such an accident should happen, there is only one thing left to do . . . pick up all the pieces, and start building something new.
James thinks that he has found his treasure . . . but we know that the real treasure is standing there in yellow, with his hand on his hip. Glad we found you, buddy!
They even had toddler friendly Legoes - you know, the ones that don't hurt when they're thrown at you.
And their off . . .
racing to make the most spectacular Lego castle.
An impressive start . . .
The kids (that includes Erik) spent a long time sitting at the table building with the Lego pieces.
3 kids + 2 dragons = one cute picture!
Besides playing with the legoes, it was also fun to play around with "science" in the rest of the museum. One of the favorites for everyone, was the weather experience, where we could feel the rain, the wind, the heat, and what the rumbling of an earthquake feels like. Well, almost everyone, Jalen Andrew didn't like that one too much.
He did, however, like trying to climb the slick wall with James - an extra bonus since that wasn't even an exhibit here.
Here are the girls trying to pull their own weight, and here's Joseph laying on a bed of nails, which doesn't at all feel the way you expect it to feel.

No way!!!! Five years????? Wow!! That has gone by so fast...
Happy A Day to James! And to your family!
Hahaha that video is funny, i love Jelan Andrew's "Wowwww!" at the end. I love the science center, they have such neat things there. Glad James was brought into your family, so we can all appreciate him too! :)
Five years, unbelievable. That's right though, Jacob was in Basic Training, and we're about to hit our five year mark in the military. The kids and I loved the video. Hyrum is now going around the house saying "wow." The kids are just getting too big. I miss you all so much, and I am so glad that James is now a part of the family.
