Don't break our tower!

It was a spur of the moment on the day. 
Then again, I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

Sam NEEDED to build a lego tower. One that uses every piece of lego we have.

First we sorted the bits.





We built a heavy foundation. I built one side and Sam copied what I was doing.

We built the beams brick by brick. We even graded them according to their colour.

And when it got tricky, I gave Sam more sorting tasks.
And then needed to use up all the train tracks. 

By the end I had to rob bits off the tower because there were not enough bits to build the pylons for the scenic bend. This is the scenic bend on the right. You can see the spire is now a little shorter.

And then we had an idea. What would it be like to go for a ride on the train?


 I cannot wait for real Lego.
