Legos and trains and wheels

In January, we visited the Discovery Center in Rockford to see the LEGO Architecture display. An archiitect in Chicago has been building scale models of famous architectural structures around the world. We were amazed at the Sears Tower built in 1/200 scale with over 30,000 Lego  pieces.                  Today, we took the opportunity to visit the Mitchell Park Domes exhibit this morning. K enjoyed using the camera to document the awesome displays of LEGOS and many trains throughout and around the exhibit. He needs to improve his photography skills as he is entered in the 4-H Photography project.                    B's favorite were the red flowers in the Desert Dome.              We found bananas, grapefruit and cocoa pods in the Tropic Dome. The heavy humidity made breathing difficult for those of us who are still recovering from a sinus cold. We decided that the Desert Dome was much cooler than the Tropic Dome.               After a delicious lunch at Culver's Custard, we proceeded home to complete our Math, handwriting and our church history, David Livingstone's biography and praying for the Djibouti people. The boys were intrigued that Dad had been there years ago.                The boys enjoyed our sunny 55 degree day and relished riding their bikes around and around the neighborhood. K and I took a run/walk around after Dad and B went to church for youth group.               We enjoyed having J home from college on spring break. Too bad, several of us including her got ill. She is studying hard for the college's drama production and writing her own 5 act play. The performance is the weekend of the 27-28th.               We will be visiting a friend's home where the silver maple trees are being tapped and syrup is being boiled. 33 gallons of tree sap is boiled down into 1 gallon of maple syrup.                 Hope you enjoyed a little view into our recent weeks- Blessings-Sarah
