Ben and Mitchell have a new obsession. Remember that show Junkyard Wars from a few years back? The series where teams of people run around a junk yard, collecting bits and pieces to put together something, quite frankly, a little unbelievable?
Ben and Mitchell are fascinated. And they think if only they had access to a junk yard, all their dreams of building, owning, and operating a jet powered trike would come true. It looks so simple to them, and it gets their imaginations bursting at the seams.
Just a few nights ago, after school, it was dinner time and getting dark and chilly out. Dinner was ready and getting cold, but I just couldn't bear to stop the boys from what they were doing. They had emptied out the garage, finding stuff I didn't even know what in there, busily building a two-man jet. They weren't quite finished adding improvements to it and were having the time of their lives. This time, I let dinner get cold. That's what a microwave is for. They played until past dark. But they built their jet.
Mission accomplished!
