Pirate Legos

This year for my birthday I received this awesome Lego pirate ship.  Both Ellie and Cooper helped me build it over a couple of days. Ellie is getting very good at building Legos.  She can look at the instructions, find the pieces and put them together.  She loves putting all the people / pirates together.  Here she combined some of her Legos with this set allowing the pirates could be confrontable when sleeping and giving a few of them magical powers with star wands.  Cooper on the other hand is just learning how to follow the Lego directions and enjoyed using the Lego pirate cannons, which do really shoot Legos.

Zoo with Grandparents

The kids loved showing Grandma and Granddad all the animals at the zoo.  Cooper was loving all the attention.  We all were able to see the elephant walk around the Zoo.  Victoria and Cooper were lucky enough to be standing right next to as the elephant passed.  (Cooper was really not excited about that).  Ellie used my camera to take some pictures of the sea lions and also left granddad stranded behind the fence.

Baking Time

Ellie and Cooper both know that when Grandma is around, there is yummy baking too do!
