Legos - The Gift That Keeps On Giving

My boyfriend really likes Legos. We have lots and lots of those little plastic bricks in our house, and most major holidays that involve the exchanging of gifts end up being mostly an exchange of Lego sets. He's sucked me in as well, and now I trawl the Lego aisle at the store just as eagerly as he does, looking for new sets of my favorite types.

Well, the latest thing we've gotten into is Lego trains. Did you know that Lego has train sets you can buy that actually run? That means that not only do you get the fun of building the set, you get to play with it and totally freak out the cat. It's really the best thing ever. We have one that is already built, a bunch of extra track, and two more trains that will be unwrapped on Christmas morning.

Today, the boyfriend was looking at YouTube videos, and one of them gave him an idea. Someone ran track all through their house and created an elaborate three-way intersection. Then, they ran three different trains that were timed just right so that they all got to the intersection at the same time. Here, I'll just show you:

Doesn't that look fun? I know what we'll be doing on Christmas morning. Anyone who wants to join in is welcome to stop by.
