TheirCraft

Over a meal at our favorite breakfast place yesterday--with crab quesadillas, peaches and cream French toast, pancakes, and some duck roll with bacon--we were talking about the Greek gods, a la Percy Jackson, listing them all.  The kids have decided to create Olympus on Minecraft, their favorite computer game.  Together, they have built a floating city with temples to the main gods and a huge throne room with seats for all the gods (hence needing to know how to spell them.)  It's a great room with this partially-domed golden ceiling, reminiscent of the Pantheon.  There is also a gorge to fill with water for Poseidon and a lava-filled underworld.  I like Athena's purple temple.  Of course, I most like the creativity and teamwork that has gone into their city.  I can't wait to see what else they add.
