A Daddy & Son thing...



The gate


So...my hubby is a Star Wars fan.  Most people who know him, know this.  It is probably not a surprise that when Colin started getting into legos Will saw his window for introducing Colin to Star Wars.  He started by buying Colin an advent calendar last year for Christmas with little star war legos each day.  Then worked his way up to little sets.  A couple months ago, Will and Colin started a very cool project together. They are building the Echo base located on planet Hoth (I have learned so much about Star Wars since meeting Will - do not get me wrong I grew up watching the movies and love them but did not truly know them).  It is actually very cool.  Will has planned what the base would look like (even parts not shown in the movie) and then uses a website that lets you buy individual legos.  It is a lot cheaper and allows for more creativity.  Colin is getting things that are not even sold as sets.  Pretty cool. 


A couple of hangars


It is still a work in progress




This is something they work on while I am doing homework or on a trip.  I think it is great that they are starting this hobby together.  It is super cute to see Colin get all excited telling me what they are building.

  1. Okay, I don't get the star wars stuff but this is cool and such a great thing for them to bond over. My brother informed me after Aubree was born that the motto of her birthday (May 4) is "May the fourth be with you"...wow. I knew I should have waited for May 5:)

  2. LOL...I have learned a great deal about Star Wars since my marriage. I think it is cute. I am glad that they have a way to bond.
