Some of Monkey's Lego Builds

This week's big adventure was a trip to the LegoFest. Last time LegoFest was in our city, Monkey just turned 4 years old. And he wasn't all that interested in Legos. Sure, he had a couple of sets and some loose pieces. But he really wasn't into building things. And then, after that first LegoFest his Lego building just exploded.

He still builds almost every day. Most of his models are pretty small. Some can get rather elaborate like this one above where he built Treasure Island with a cave, a bunkhouse, a swamp and a zipline for Jim Hawkins and Doctor Livesey . And he still dreams of building a Death Star from scratch (he tried, but ran out of Legos).
