New Fish

Jimmy Neutron the beta passed away yesterday.  He would have been three in October which is a long time for a fish.  Sam was quite upset.  Jimmy is now buried in the backyard with the other couple of betas.  We went out to Petco tonight and bought a new beta.  It's always a lot of fun coming up with names for the new fish.

We named our new fish "Pluto"

KC Trip

Kristin had a Bible Study Fellowship work shop on Saturday, so after her work shop, the boys and I picked up Kristin and goofed off in Kansas City.  After a swim a the hotel pool, we ventured downtown to Crown Center for our trip to Lego land Discovery.  I would highly recommend this place.  After a slow wait and start, we were off to the races.  They had a really fun ride where you can ride a Lego chariot and shoot different objects for scores.

Beautiful Lego displays of Kansas City.  The lights dimmed in this room and it was really pretty.


Ben in Lego heaven

Getting ready for the 4-D movie.  This was an awesome show and could feel wind and some rain to enhance the effect.





On Sunday, we used the other half of our combo pass and visited Sea Life at Crown Center, next door to Lego Discovery.  It is a really nice aquarium and has one of the best Manta Ray displays I've ever seen.

Library Display

Sam was invited by Wichita's Evergreen Library location to display his Lego Hero Factory collection.  Each figure has a card with the name and characteristics.  This is only like 10% of his entire Hero Factory collection.  That would probably take up the entire library.

In the center of the display case, there is a bio of Sam
