The Attack of Robot X

Daddy came home from New York yesterday. Today, we spent a lot of time together playing with Legos. In the course of this, we played "The Attack of Robot X -- The Scourge of Alpha Centauri." In these stories, Robot X (pictured above next to me) attacks a poor unsuspecting Lego city like Sunnyvale and destroys it. Sometimes Robot X faces severe opposition. For instance, when Robot X attacked Lego-Orlando, a robot Mickey Mouse and a robot Goofy fought him (unsuccessfully) in the defense of Orlando. In the course of the adventures, Daddy taught me about "plot twists", which are part of what make the stories exciting. For instance, Robot X has occasionally faced a really powerful robot who could defeat him. Instead, Robot X turns the rival robot to the side of the machines and away from the "humanoids" and thereby seals the fate of the city. We also did some the other way around where Robot X is reprogrammed by the people who live in the city to protect the city rather than destroy it.

This is the most fun with Legos ever!

In other news, Daddy put up a couple of photos from the 4th of July parade in Danville. This year's parade featured the Budweiser Clydesdales and the beer guys delivering beer. Unfortunately, they were not handing out free samples to the people watching the parade. See the pictures here.
