The Big Bad Wolf

Jack's been singing this ALL day!

More Impressions

We are put our Impression 5 membership to good use on a rainy day...
Julia had fun playing with the toys!

Isaac & Jack had fun at the water table!

Julia can't keep her hands out of poor Isaac's hair, but the funny part is that he is happy enough to let her play with it! 

Uncooperative Subjects

How many pictures do I need to take to get a good one?

More than 60... 

 Is it too much to ask for both of them to smile and look at the camera at the same time?

We even bribed Jack with a tortilla chip (good idea, but it didn't work!).  Julia wants whatever big brother has so she was trying to get Jack's chip.

After about 60 pictures this was the best of the bunch...oh, well there is always tomorrow...

Julia is much more cooperative, but the photographer had a few issues with shadows...

Yeah, it's a parade!

                               

Jack has been looking forward to the Memorial Day parade all week!  This morning we dressed in our red, white and blue and headed to Downtown Grand Ledge!

Strike Up the Band!

Once again we find ourselves in downtown Grand Ledge where there was a band concert on the Opera House Commons.  We found a nice shady spot to sit; however, we were not very close to the band and it was difficult for Jack to sit still...

Dad found a better seat for Jack, right behind the band.  Jack loved it!  He also loved the jet skis that were going past on the river.  He wanted to know what they were called...Jason told him that they were jet skis, but Jack renamed them "Jack skis"!

Sometimes you need an outlet...

mall!  We had to take a break in our shopping for lunch!  I just get excited when I get a picture where everyone (especially Jack!) is looking at the camera!

New Golf Attire

Don't you dress like this on the golf course? Shark pj's and a sticker hat! Jack made his hat at the children's museum and wouldn't even try it on, but he had to wear it to play golf! He couldn't even see where he was going...

Julia's 1st Trip to the Zoo!

Today we went to John Ball Zoo...Julia's first trip to the zoo!  Julia was having a great time...Jack not so much (that's what happens when you don't get enough sleep because you are so excited!).  Jack was mad because he wanted to play on the slides instead of going into the zoo, so he voiced his displeasure half of the time we were there.  Today was the first time that Julia got to hang out in the stroller without her car seat!  She loved checking out all of the people!

Jack finally cheered up a bit when he got to see the monkeys, here he was watching the lions!

Julia watching the lions!

Happy little girl!

Julia's 1st "Vacation"

I say "vacation" as we were only away one night and we were only an hour away from home.  It was more like a practice vacation.  Jack was so, so excited...he kept saying "we're staying at a hotel".  He was constantly bouncing around the room.  I think the last time we even stayed in a hotel was two years ago when Jack was Julia's age.  How do we break it to little Julia that Jack's first vacation was to Evian, France and hers was to Grand Rapids, Michigan (nothing against GR...we love it there and I moved there after college and we lived there when we were first married)?

Another day...another museum!

Another fun museum day!  Tuesday we went to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum.  The construction zone was one of Jack's favorite activities....

We had fun with all of the mirrors...

Jack really had fun with the mirrors...and I think that Jason got some really great pictures!

Julia just had fun...

The Lego's were a hit too!

First Impression

Monday we had a GREAT time in the First Impression room at Impression 5 Museum!  Jack and Julia both loved the huge water table and all of the great toys.  Jack was so excited...there was so much to do!  We are going to sign up for some of the summer classes and will be making many more trips with our new annual pass!

Julia was fascinated by herself...she was making herself laugh...so cute!

ahhhh....

I like to look cute!
