The Completed City

It only took 3 days to complete the painting of the city. (Actually coloring- I used paint pens. Does anyone else out there think that coloring is therapeutic? It is so relaxing! OK, there were a LOT of fumes...) I'm not sure what we are going to name it, but I am thinking something like "The-Coolest-City-On-Earth, Texas". (because that is where the coolest city on earth would be). :) Anyway, here are some pics and highlights of our favorite areas...

The finished city

This is my personal favorite. Target and Ikea in the same block.

This is one of Elias' and Adaryll's special "Daddy Date" spots: The Dell Diamond. It is where they go to watch triple-A baseball. Note that the houses shown are the boys' houses (Elias, Jaren, and Holloway) and they each have a convertible parked in the driveway. LOL

Elias has ALWAYS loved airports. He has even told me what is inside this airport near gate A and what is near gate B. (food court, etc)

This is the mall. Elias likes it because it has Inflatable Wonderland. I like it because there is a Crocs store. :)

Personally, I don't know what I would do without a McDonald's drive-thru every once in a while.

This is the zoo. I meant to add an alligator to the pond, but I was waiting for the blue to dry and I forgot. Elias also informed me that he wants giraffes at the zoo. So maybe the project is not quite finished after all...
