Building a City

Yesterday we built a city.  We used all the different kinds of blocks we have.  Which is a lot, more than enough blocks for city building.

It took several hours of working for a while and then taking a break and then going back to the "job".

Everyone helped.

Sometimes the builders took things apart.  Then we learned about rebuilding and kindness.

Walker is meticulous and has a plan.  He knows just what he is building.  He built a very delicate and elaborate footbridge through the center of town and boats for the water.

Eli picks the blocks he likes and builds something and then decides what it is he has built.  He has a great eye for seeing what things look like.  He built several movie theaters and skyscrapers.  He also spent a fair amount of time "fixing" things in the city.

Colin is going to participate.  He built much of the wall and the towers.  He would not destroy things as long as I was giving him something to build.  He was  going to be involved, one way or another.

The city still stands today.  We shall see how long it last. But, these memories, they are mine forever. {Because we built much more than a city out of blocks yesterday.  Thank you, Jesus.}
