Over-Head Hopper

This coal tower has a trap door on top so we can fill it full of coal. Then when a train needs more coal, it stops under the tower. We open the doors at the bottom and coal comes pouring out, filling the train's coal car. Jeremiah had lots of fun with this creation.

A Cinderella Carriage

Because I love fairy tales

Legoland

Just after Christmas, David took Jeremiah and I to Legoland in San Diego. It was fun. I definitely recommend going if you have the chance.

After it got dark, we went inside one of the building rooms where we could build and race lego cars. I built the one that looks like a lawn chair, which was a slow, slow car. Jeremiah and I built the crank car on the bottom. This one was a winner.

Cherry Picker

This cherry picker is meant to work on telephone or power lines, so it has a giant spool for wire on the back. The sides have cabinets to hold tools and work supplies. Jeremiah always enjoys cabinets and cubbies that he can put stuff in.

The future of mass transit

This definitely is not my favorite creation ever, but it was kind of fun to build, and I like how the light shines through all the blue windows. It's supposed to be a jet-engine-powered train.

Church

Now I don't remember completely, but I think a walthers catalog insipred this little church. Inside is a narthex, bride's room, and sanctuary.
Below is a creation by Jeremiah. It is a combine harvester. He says we should build it again.

Frank and a tow truck (no, not Mater)

This is Frank, from the movie Cars. He was kinda tricky to build because he's mostly shown from the front. Jeremiah and I flipped through the Frank scenes frame by frame so we'd know how to build the back, except then I didn't take a picture of the back, and this lego creation has long since bit the dust.
The creation to the left and below is a tow truck constructed by Jeremiah.

Mavis

Jeremiah, our Thomas the Tank Engine fan, requested that I build Mavis. Her bold black and yellow stripes were fun to build.

Jeremiah's Space Ship

Jeremiah says: "We should normally build that creation again."

Supermarket

I forget what inspired this store. I feel like it might have been from a model train magazine, and it also reminds me of the little market in Monteverde. Jeremiah built the stairs on wheels in front of the store in the middle picture.

A creature

This creature is inspired by prehistoric amphibians.

Little Red and White Bus

Wow, I don't even remember building this, but I have a picture of it, so here it is.

Resurecting Legos 4 Fun

Sorry to have been MIA for so long. Hopefully I'll have this blog up and running again soon.
