The tallest tower

Last week, just before Thanksgiving, we had some extra friends come play with us! My niece (Majesta), my nephew(Braxton), and Savannah's big sister (Samantha)were all here with me, Julia, Rebecca, and Savannah! It was really fun having the older kiddos here, as they each had great imaginative ideas that lead into some wonderful pretend play that I couldn't have created without them. They enjoyed each other's company, and gave all of us a break from the daily grind.
While Julia and Savannah were napping, the other three kiddos set out on a mission to build a tower with the mega blocks that would reach the ceiling. They were determined, and I was impressed with their persistence. Their towers took many forms - first they tried it as a square building, then as a flat wall, and finally, they decided to try building it against a wall for support. After about an hours work, they finally attained the goal! And here is a picture of the tall tower - one that goes from floor to ceiling.
