Another Lego Get Together - Carl, Lizzie, Erik, Kevin, Anika

I'm a little late in putting this up because work gave me another opportunity to spend few days in lovely Iqaluit this past week.  Twice in 30 days is a new record for me.

Hurrah for -40 celcius and 14:00 sundowns
 Regardless, Lizzie, Erik and I hosted Anika and Kevin for a Lego "play date" this past Sunday.  Here are some of the photos I managed to grab.


Actually, Erik and I started the night before by having a little long range duel using the contents of two of the Chima Tribe sets.  Each came with three minifgs, a "pizza" shooter brick and one of the handheld round 1x1 shooters.

As you can see, this was an opponent giving me a lot of respect
And a lot of enthusiasm
Erik's Lion Tribe had a formidable defensive line centered on his pizza shooter
I on the other hand had a wet nose on skis for the main armament of my Sabretooth Tiger Tribe
Fun did eventually ensue though.

The two sets were quite the bargain for the fun they brought us ($12 a pop), and the served as the inspiration for the build the next day.

Anika and Kevin built a castle and adjoining mermaid pool.  It was quite the undertaking, solely using bricks from Lizzie's stash.


Erik and I built a Lion Tribe fort (and I kept our harassment of the others to a minimum). Lizzie built herself an ice rink.  She can be quite clever, as you can see below.
Lizzie's simple bike rack idea
That bike rack made me quite proud of how ingenious she can be.
Le Chateau Splish Splash
Ok, Kevin can be pretty ingenious too.
Getcha motor running...
But the eureka! prize of the day went to me, for figuring out a way to use those speedorz without the hassle of them constantly falling over. :)
