Full Circle

Turns out,  our skateboard park--



is also The Perfect Place to Build Things.


And it's keeping someone busy.



Very busy.


Designing a bench is not that hard.


But the execution is difficult because the nail going in the top, has to hit the leg being nailed on underneath.

At least that's what they tell me.

This whole project started yesterday with the announcement:
"Mom, I'm going to make a bench."

But before embarking on that journey the most important thing was to reveal who would be making it--


Not Tristan,


But  Hybrid Tristan.
Hey, I think I see the makings of a Superhero here.
Aren't all the comic book heroes designed by grown-ups? Doesn't that mean that there must be something about grown-ups that stays little-boy-working-in-the-garage?

Maybe that's where our most ingenious ideas have come from:
Sir Isaac Jr., Little Albert Einstein, Tommy Edison-- it was that little part of them that didn't yet know what was impossible.

Little boys workin' in the garage.
