Transported Back in Time Via Legos

During Kyle's visit, I was sitting in the living room when I heard a sound that was familiar but which I could not place. A swishing sound that sort of rattled. I listened for a while, and then it hit me.

Legos! Someone was sifting through the Lego tub! So I went upstairs to take a peek. This is the sight that greeted me as I looked into Craig's office:

Someone had dumped the entire tub of Legos. But who? Braden, maybe??

 Nope, it's Kyle, and he was sorting out pieces from that huge jumble of Legos.

 He'd actually picked out quite a few specific pieces. But why?

 Kyle answered my question by pointing to the iPad.

 He'd pulled up plans for an old favorite that he had constructed years ago. And now he was trying to put it together again.

It took him a while, but he finished the piece. I sat in Craig's green lounger and watched, chatting with Kyle as he reminisced about Legos in his childhood. And I cried a bit, too. It took me waaaay back to when my kids were little (how I miss that stage!!) and would watch them spend hours building with Legos, sometimes entire cities that they would spread out all over the width and breadth of the pool table in the basement.

Good memories from one of the best toys ever designed for children. Thanks, Kyle, for letting me sit and watch.
