Nathan's Inspiration


Here's Nathan's inspiration during the last week. Again, keep in mind that this kind of inspiration requires lots of unstructured time.

I was messing around with these Wikki Stixs and I thought of all the things I could do. I started to make this swimming park. It was really hard to make but turned out lots of fun. (Note: We love Wikki Stixs!! Check out their website!!)
This is my first park that I built. It was hard and fun. It has 4 pools, two diving boards and one slide.
A different view. You can see the diving board over the smaller pool. There is also a stand underneath the slide that is holding it up.
This one is different. I moved lots of things. It was also lots of fun to do.
I put two loops and two bars into an obstacle course. The loops are for jumping through. The first one you jump in and do a front hand spring off the bar and land go to the next bar and doing a front hand spring and go through the loop with your feet. I put in two new pools, a trampoline place and a baseball field and a fountain.
This is the last one I did. I hope I can do another one again because I had lots of fun. This is my favorite.
In this one I made the baseball field bigger. I changed one pool into a smaller one. I made the course smaller with one bar and two hoops. I moved the pool set to the side and the fountain next to it. I also made the big pool smaller.

My dad is a landscape architect. He was the reason I started to do this.
 
Now, get off the computer and go inspire a child to follow his/her nose!!! Or find your own project to work on, follow YOUR nose, so they can see how it's done, and give them the space to follow theirs!

More Dogs

Collie


Collie's are gentle guards. Collies are born blind and small. They stay close to their mother so they can stay safe.

Irish Setter


When they are born they are blind and really cute and cuddly. They don't have that much hair, but as they grow up they get more hair. Once they reach a certain age, they can grow lots of hair and they can hear more better.

German Shepherd

Once they reach a certain age they are really good hunters. They can also be really good police dogs. German shepherds are normally black and tan, but they can also be white. They can be really good watch dogs.
