Lego fun

December 4th, 2007

Jimmy and I put his Star Wars Lego ship together, and it was so much fun! He got it for Christmas 3 years ago, and it’s been in our closet waiting until he had enough time to put it together. I always figured he’d do it with a nephew, so I put it out to take to my parents’ home this Thanksgiving. On the night before Thanksgiving, he jokingly asked “Do you want to put the Star Destroyer together tonight?” playing along I replied, “sure” not thinking we would actually do it, but then I thought it might really be fun. We spent 3 hours doing the first part the night before Thanksgiving, and then 2 more hours last Friday night after Zeke went to bed. I never knew Legos were so cool! My brothers loved them growing up, but to me they seemed so overwhelming with all of the tiny pieces. It was a great activity to do together, and when we were finally done it was really neat to see what we had built.

It surprised me at how detailed Legos are, here it shows Darth Vader’s chamber. It even has the little stand for his mask to go on, and Darth Vader has a grayish scarred face under his mask like in the movie!

I liked the back with the blue blasters

    Very cool! (have to agree the hair is cute too). It’s funny how long those things can take but how much fun putting them together can be!
