Dance til you drop!

Walter hosted a "dance party" today for all the friends in the Itty Bitty playgroup. We did the hokey pokey, bean bag boogie, animal attraction, and lots more. Jack took the theme of this party very seriously! Lots of dancing, rolling, jumping, and wiggling. He's got serious moves.

Jack's shades

You don't know cool til someone velcros sunglasses to your head!

Fun in the sun

Carli and Quinn invited Jack over for a play date and we had lots of fun playing in the backyard. There were splash pools, slides, a sand box, and CORN DOGS!

Yeeee Haw!

As a reward to being very well behaved during grocery shopping Jack got to ride the Kroger horse twice!

Man of many disguises

Swim Lessons

Here are a couple pictures of Jack at the Pearland Swim Academy. He loves swim lessons with coach Bret. It doesn't hurt that his buddies Ricky and Langdon are in the class too! They are learning to be "water strong" so lots of floating, kicking, and mastering the art of climbing out of the pool on their own.

Port of Houston ship channel tour

We took Grandma Brenda on the ship channel tour at the Port of Houston. First, we showed her the fun pavilion with the pretty mosaic artwork. Then we got to board the ship and see lots of giant barges, tankers, and tugboats. We even got a free shasta to drink on the ride.

Harvest and donation

Recently started volunteering at the Pearland Community Gardens. This was our last small harvest. The tomatoes are almost ready now. The plants look great! So far the group has been donating harvested veggies to the Christian Helping Hands organization. Next time we harvest I will take Jack to help pick. I think playing in the dirt is one of Jack's specialties.

Weekend adventure with Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma Brenda and Grandpa George stayed with Jack in Pearland while Arthur and I went to Kennedy Space Center in FL to watch the shuttle launch. Jack had lots of fun helping Grandpa with his chore list around the house. They installed a garden hose reel outside, put together Jack's lawn chairs, and planted a few flowers. In return Jack showed Grandma and Grandpa all the cool hang out spots around town. They visited Southdown splash park, chick-fil-a, and the giant fish tank at Bass Pro Shop. It was an action packed weekend.

Zoo mobile

The Houston zoo's Zoo-mobile came to the Wed. Animal Tales class and Jack got to check out some real live zoo animals. On the drive over I asked him what animals he thought the zoo-mobile would bring for the classroom he paused and then answered "lions". Thank god they decided on turtles and snakes for this trip.

Last day of Animal Tales

Jack loves going to see Ms. Marilyn in Animal Tales class. Each week they learn about a new animal, make a page about that animal for their "book", and then sing songs together. Today was the last class for this session so we put Jack's animal book together (his lion page is my favorite). Ms. Marilyn also brought animal cookies and juice for the class. Very fun.
