Lego skyscraper - posted on Monday, August 14th 2006 12:42 am

Kids and I built a giant lego tower this week. From the table it stands 68 inches tall and comes just a millimeter from touching the ceiling. From the ground it stands 96 inches. It includes a working motorized windmill (cause you see those on real skyscrapers all the time) and an observation deck. This one should make quite a mess when it gets knocked down.

Geocaching - posted on Monday, August 14th 2006 12:13 am

Kids and I did some geocaching yesterday. Failed at our first one but it’s at a park we visit often so we’ll have plenty of opportunities to figure that one out later. Did a bunch of hiking around in the woods on one and came across a homeless man sleeping. Tiptoed around him and continued on.

In picture #1 you’ll see that I left a pink cell phone with stickers all over it. Picture #2 shows a cool find I got from that same cache - a Geocaching sticker which I placed on my car. And picture #3 is one of the more interesting “hides” I’ve ever seen. They spray painted a tin box (Sucrets? Altoids?) black and attached it to the side of a lamp post with magnets. It’s in a park in full view of the hundreds of people that must walk by there each day, yet no one ever notices it since it looks like it’s a part of the post. Payton spotted it immediately.
