to Lego Town.
No. Not this. This is how the older three try to keep Camryn out of their way while they build and play in Lego Town. Above is Camryn town. Below is Lego Town.
Lego Town takes up one pretty good size room in the 3rd floor playroom. That rug that Lego town is on is an 8x10 area rug. Lego Town started in our last house and occupied most of the upper foyer (which was huge). The kids were sad when they had to take it apart to move it to this house. Rebuilding has been half the fun though and they will spend HOURS up here, building, rebuilding, planning, playing and just have a great time. Their building ability has long impressed me. The train tracks they come up with blow my mind. They definately got the building gene from Jon. And while I am always impressed with the physical structures they put together, I am totally in awe of the community they have created.
This is a picture of Sculpture World in Lego Town. Just one of the many things to do and see in this very special community. In this town Katie runs the bank, grocery store and police station. She also has a farm and a farm stand. Will owns a Target (gotta love the third child) and controls most of the trains. Ben is in charge of all the public spaces (and charges entrances to them); the pool, Sculpture World, all the parks, and the airport. Keep in mind they came up with ALL of this ALL by themselves. Granted there are no schools or government offices (other than the police). But they do have their own currentcy and bank accounts. And parks and art!!
Here's Kate gathering more materials for her house that's currently under construction. She tells me she can never decide what type of house she likes best so she keeps changing it. (Hmmm ... wonder how that relates to her real life???). She also says that she decided to run the both bank and the police station so they could work together to catch bad guys. But in order to make money she decided to plant a garden and run a farm to sell her goods to the other members of the town.
As you can see Lego Town is much more than Legos. It's Geotrax, a couple wooden train sets and Legos combined. But really it's an extenstion of three minds imagining and creating and working together to make something they can all be a part of. I don't know about you, but I am super impressed.
