Finding Ancient Treasure

Me and my family heard about a secret pirate treasure buried in my grandparent's yard.  Me and my brother used a gps to locate it.
We started to dig the treasure up.  My grandpa helped.
We found the treasure!  It was a box filled with pirate jewels.

Lego Chess

This is the first stage in my Lego chess game.  On the left side is the human team, and on the right side is the team of the dead.  The game started out just using figures, but then I realized that the queen could just slide forward and knock out the king, ending the game, so I added some pawns.

In the treasure chest, you will see jewels but I call them pawns.  The rule about the pawns is that if one is knocked out, it goes into the treasure chest.  The winner gets the treasure chest at the end.  Also, once you knock out four players, you get a wizard which can trade places with any other figure on your team.

My favorite guy is the one with the double crossbow.

Team of the Dead, with pawns

When I played with my mom, I was the human team and she was the dead guy team. 

I won (here's one of my attacks). 
-My mom never knew how to play chess until I taught her.  She's still not that good.  But she wants me to add that she's slowly getting better. ;)  ...very slowly.
