The Adventures Of Deacon And Dad: D&D Build A Train [Video]
Every day is an adventure with my son. I can't help but envy his boundless energy and imagination. To harness those powers effectively, we take on little projects like this.
I have had this wooden Christmas train kit in storage for a year. It came from the good folks at Lowe's as part of their Build and Learn workshop. We have been doing them for a while, and when I came across this one - I had to put one away so we could relive the magic.
He's older now, but we still enjoy building stuff together. It was a perfect father-son bonding experience, in which the son eventually played the father's head like a bongo. Very Shakespearean, really. The video below is a bit longer than we usually like to shoot for, but full of Deacon-isms. Enjoy!
