A Trip to the Castle

Our local toy store has a great castle inside and every year they send you a key for your birthday. Once you open the door with your key, you get to go inside a pick out a present. Even I got to do this as a kid. It doesn't seem quite so great now, but the kids seems to think so. Anyway, it has come up on Justin's turn for this year. We took him to pick out his gift and, of course, Drew wanted to go in too --- but just to help Justin, no doubt. Since the store is in the process of clearing out its retail area the nice girl who let Justin in said that Drew could pick something out as well. How great! Justin picked out a foam toy to play with outside and Drew picked a two-pack of trucks.

Ready! Set!

Go!

Yea!

The kids were excited, but Justin's excitement didn't last. Once we got home, Drew somehow got a hold of Justin's toy and ripped off the orange wings and separated the purple tail from the yellow body of his toy so he never even got to play with it. Eventually (maybe), he'll learn to put his things where his brother can't get them! We'll see!
