Potpourri

These are some of our favorite things to do. Jadon loves animals and so trips to the zoo and other outdoor parks are always exciting for him. One of the things I love most about Jadon is his absolute joy at simple things. He has discovered making faces when his picture is being taking (although I could just say that he is signing "moose").

Jadon with his dad. There's that moose again.

Another favorite activity is playing at the park.

A family tradition is launching model rockets for the 4th of July. The kids have fun building them and dad has fun setting up the launches.

Jadon and his sister getting the rocket she built ready to launch. Jadon loves to help get the rocket on the launch pad and really like the countdown from 10.

5...4....3....2....1....Blast off! Unfortunately a breeze came up and carried the rocket somewhere into a grove of trees. Jadon was quite upset that we couldn't find the rocket. It just gives us an excuse to build a new one next year.
