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.
