Elijah's 11th Lego Celebration

In Branson, Elijah did not have a birthday cake. Here he is with his Lego Birthday Celebration.

Elijah's Castle

Once upon a time in an old castle in England there lived a King, Queen and Prince. They had two brave knights guarding the castle and an archer who sat on the top of the castle. One day the King and Queen were having dinner when the Prince came in and said
“There is an army coming to take over the castle.” So the King ordered the two knights and the archer to be ready. They brought out the catapult as the army was arriving... But they did not know that someone was listening to everything that they said. A King’s servant was listening to their conversation.

As soon as the King and Queen were finished talking, the servant ran over to the enemy army and told the army the plans. But the Knight saw him running out and followed the servant. He knew the servant was a spy and he told the King.
When the servant returned he thought no one had noticed what he had done. So the servant went back to his work. Everyone in the castle however knew the servant was a spy so they threw him in the dungeon.

The enemy army arrived at the castle. The knights and archers were ready and fired their catapults and arrows. The knights ran into battle. By evening they had won and taken all the enemy prisoners and threw them all into the dungeon. From that day forward, no other enemy army would try to take over the castle because they knew they would loose. The End

What Do You Know About Eyes?

There is so much to learn. Let's think about our eyes for a few minutes. Our eyes are the 'looking glass' that shows who we are inside -- how we feel -- if we are telling the truth, if we really believe what we are saying....

Our eyes are so important. I would never want to loose my eyes. Here are your eyes ... well, I did add a few of your pets in the mix. Can you identify who is who?

Oh no! I thought I put all nine of you in the picture but there are only eight humans. I will add the other one separately. Tell me who I missed. Let's see how many you get right. http://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/eyes.html
