Daniel loved building Lego sets, but he never wanted to tear them down and build anything else. His childhood room was filled with all kinds of sets and, yes, they collected dust. When we moved, we decided that it was time to break down the sets. He wanted the sets preserved, so they were broken down individually and placed in a ziplock bag with the original instructions. We had no idea how difficult and time consuming it would be. I'm pretty sure we paid a friend's kid to do the hard work.
Fast forward to today and you'll find Legos taking over our dining room table on Tuesday afternoons. Stephen and J are almost always working on building a set from Daniel's collection. Yesterday they got started on the historic Red Baron.
When they finish, this plane will join the Sopwith Camel that hangs from the ceiling in J's room.
Lego fun for three generations!
