Swimming and LEGO

2024-07-28

This week I was a helper for Mom as she was recovering from her surgery last week. She wasn't supposed to drive, so Dad took me to swimming lessons, and Caroline and Jonathan picked me up to go swimming for fun during the week. Otherwise, I spent time reading and working on some LEGO projects, Dad and I went for some bike rides, and we watched the two most recent Ghostbusters movies, After Life and Frozen Empire.

On Sunday, I mowed the lawn, and Mom and I went to the pool to meet Caroline, Jonathan, and Julia. It was Mom's first time out and about since the surgery.

I have the pool all to myself.

A few more people showed up.

As I mentioned, I was working on some LEGO projects this week. Here are some pictures of what I put together.

First is a Clone Wars-era battle scene on Kashyyyk (yes, that is how the Wookie homeworld is spelled), featuring Yoda and Asajj Ventress.

The republic tank is taking some hits!

Next is my Grand Army of the Republic in a parade formation.

And I built another Kashyyyk battle, this one on a modular platform I was experimenting with. This one has Separatists attacking a Wookie base, with Yoda there to help the defense.

And last, I put together some of my favorite duels from Star Wars all on one base plate. I have Ahsoka vs. Ventress, Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul, Obi-Wan vs. The Grand Inquisitor, Darth Vader vs. Emperor Palpatine, Anakin vs. Sauvage Opress, Yoda vs. Count Dooku, Rey vs. Kylo Ren, and Obi-Wan vs. General Grievous.

And that was my week! Take care!
