Sorry so late

If you want to see more of this place, you can go to Will's blog...but I wanted to show you this picture that he did not show. It's pretty cool because it's in Sherlock Forest and this is the pathway that the forresters march on to look through the villages. The forresters are the guys that are loyal to the Sheriff, and they are supposed to go thru the villages, look around, make sure there is no one doing anything that the Sheriff says is illegal. I actually found this book behind my dad's desk and ended up reading most of it. Sometimes, when you're reading a book, it just gets boring (to me) or you just forget to keep reading and have more important stuff to do. Will has read the whole book and he has told me a lot about it.















This is the upper view of the village. In a while, we will build the castle, which will be really cool. I forgot the name of the castle...let me go ask Will. Gamewell...that's it. We started to design King Arthur's castle but after Will read the book, he got really interested in building Robin Hood's part of the story.







this is the great Viking ship. It wasn't that hard because I've built a lot of ships but I don't have photos of them. The captain is sitting at the bottom. he's on his tower, commanding the men. While we were doing this, I told my dad about how I built a Viking ship and he said, "A good leader would have the faith (trust) of his men, for them to do the right thing and he wouldn't have to command them at all. He could just work with them". On this ship, we have a little fireplace, of course made of stone, so the ship didn't catch on fire, and then we have a couple cross bow men. I don't know if they had cross bow's back then but they're cool so use them anyway.






This is Molly at her first birthday party (she turns one on July 9). I felt the privilege of helping her get a little bit messier than she would have probably gotten on her own! I put some on her arms and I got her on the forehead. It was hilarious how she smudged it into the tray. Hard to believe she is turning one already. She's really cute, isn't she? (Mom is typing this for me but I'm dictating and she was not aware that I went to such great lengths to make Molly messy!)

Thanks for checking out my blog. I will post more later.

See ya,
