My Action Figures
So here I am last Saturday with my new friend Quinn, the wonderful son of Amy Reesman (an old friend of my wife's from Girl Scout days) and Dawn Strunk Reesman, checking out of my books on super heroes.
When he saw this in my study, he asked "Where did Addy"--our two and a half year old granddaughter--"get these?"
Of course! You should see the looks on kids' faces when they come over to my house for the first time and see the LEGO collection. We have a hard time getting some of them to go home. :)
