The Summer of Legos

This summer should be known as "The Summer of Legos." The kids played with legos for hours every day. They found some awesome books at the library that give ideas of things to build with the bricks, and they have come up with the most amazing creations!
Logan is showing off his dragon and his graveyard (complete with a tomb that opens to reveal a ghost):
Eli built a ship and a house:
Ali has a cottage that hinges open and a mini race track (complete with cars, flags, risers for the fans, etc):
Here is a shot of some of my other favorites of the summer (from left): a centaur, a billy goat under his bridge, a robot, an animal, furniture, and two mini tanks. They've also built star wars characters like R2D2, palaces, monsters, bugs, vehicles, and so much more!

I Love Lego. We got some from Aunt Nadine when we were kids, while she was in Germany, well before it was available here in the states. There were only bricks...no other shapes but my brothers played with them into their mid teens. When my kids were young, I kind of hated the 'constructions' as Keith called them cause I wanted them to use their imagination, but following the instructions was good for them too.
