Simon Art

Do you spy three tiny fingers?

                                              What could Suy guy possibly be hiding from?

                                                                         Maybe this?

Not really. He was very proud of his work. "I did dat."

My little buddy, all day long. Until "Beetle Dad" comes home.

The Art of the Brick

Last Saturday we went to the "Art of the Brick" exhibit in Park City. Benson was so excited, he has watched a Lego DVD with Nathan Sawaya's work countless times, so to see it in person was a real treat for him.

  It was fun to see him so excited and happy, he has always wanted to go to Lego land. I should have just told him Lego land came to Park City....for FREE! Because really this work was Amazing!
           

Maxwell is obsessed with kitties right now, so he wanted a pic in front of "Grey Cat".

This guy and Lego art exhibit don't jive. He made us and the museum personnel a bit nervous at times. He brought loose Legos from the kids Lego table in to the exhibit area and we learned in a hurry-- that is not allowed, they were worried he had taken them from one of the show pieces. I'm glad I got a pic before I realized I was being a dumb parent.

Can you believe what he did to this guy?

Just Kiddin. But with four of my kids running around, this sculpture gave me anxiety every time I looked at it.

The Lego Table

Benson was loving life.

Simon has just started building with Lego's, I love his concentration face.

He was talking to all the other kids at the table while he was building. I wish I could have understood what he was saying because it sounded important!

Bloody Paws

It was 24 degrees outside on Saturday! This was reason to get out and enjoy the sunshine. I had the idea to go on a walk/bike ride with our kids, on the nicely paved canal road.

Benson is just learning to get around on his bike, he was loving the freedom of not worrying about running in to anything.

       Simon rode his scooter for a while but then switched to foot. He prefers running most of the time.

 Turns out the bike crew can ride pretty fast and before we knew it we had been walking almost two miles. Which means...... we have to walk two miles back to the car.

Great for those with bikes but Suy Guy was slowing and so was Ruben.

  

 Poor Ruben. Maybe not such a good idea to bring him. He started walking really funny about halfway in to the walk. I thought it was because it was so cold. He was wanting to walk in the snow and I kept forcing him on to the pavement because I was worried the snow would make him colder. Later that night I noticed he kept licking his paws, so I looked at them closer and they were pink and bleeding! He had rubbed his paws raw on the pavement ): I felt so bad.

                                                   At least these guys had a good time!

Suy Guy was a trooper! About the last mile of our walk I carried Brigham and put him in the stroller. I knew he must have been tired because he usually hates the stroller and he didn't even put up a fight when I strapped him in.
