New Tire, New Grill, New Legos!

 I wish that I could say that we had an uneventful trip up today.  However, as we entered Las Vegas, a man pulled up beside us, rolled down his window and told us that we had a flat tire!  Great!  Fortunately, there was a tire store a block away and we made it there.  Forty-five minutes, a new tire and $335 later, we were back on the road up the mountain.  

We unloaded.  We unpacked.  We cranked up the new grill.  The old grill?  Well, there's an interesting story,  Earlier this month, on our way to the back door of the cabin with seven grandkids for camp, Will said, "PawPaw, that grill!"  As PawPaw ran over something, he said, "What was that?"  Will said, "PawPaw, that grill!"  It could not be seen from the driver's side of the truck and it really needed to be replaced, so here we are with a new grill.   

Today my brother, Vaden and his grandson, Jacob came with us.  I had some Legos for Jacob and he went right to work following the directions.  After completing five mini sets, he staged them.  Here they are:
 Toy Story 3, Atlantis, Snowman, and a Christmas Tree, all being photographed by a traveler!
 Very cute, Jacob!

There was a plan for a hot game of Farkle.
And we all joined in.
 Jacob kept score.
And he won!
It is so good to be in the cool mountains!
