After a particularly rough crash, Jack resolved his tears with this bicycle toy kept on a high shelf.  I pulled out my camera when I noticed him making his “vroom vroom” noises.  Ben taught him that, of course.

Ben and Jack went hiking with Grandpa Rick in Fairplay.  There are many beautiful photos on Ben’s flickr page.  I love this portrait:

I took a video of Jack and me on the porch for my Dad’s birthday.  The lighting was weirdly ethereal so I snapped a few photos too:

Ben calls these PJ’s Jack’s sorority shorts:

Last weekend my parents came to visit!  I have so much fun seeing them, and Jack had a blast too. It was too hot for most of the playground equipment, but he likes stairs enough to be happy.

And he got a sunscreen-as-hair-product do in the shade.

They brought us Palisade peaches.  Jack ate three that day.

A quick stop at the Apple store to swap out a broken iPad.

Then Jack was let loose in the play park.  Holy cow, did he had had fun.

This was the first of many many times climbing up the water rapids.  It was incredibly noisy there, but I could see Jack’s mouth moving the whole time he played.  They tell me he was going “Da! Da! Da! Da!” non-stop.
