Annual Apple Acquisition

Yum!

It was cool to watch the machine make cider donuts. More yum. 

Play

The above link is to the final scene in the play Simon made with friends at mini camp. He was only the narrator for this part.

The story so far- they made very cool machines that created wooden robots to help stop animal poaching. To make the robots they had to cut down all the trees in the world. The robots turned against them. There was no oxygen. The end was near. And then...

Simon Performs

Simon had a fun day at a camp where they wrote their own play in a day. 

Happy Birthday Phoebe

We celebrated Phoebe's birthday in the park. (Not Simon's classmate). It was fun filled. Bubbles and cake oh yeah. 

A Child's Heaven Comes In Many Forms

Playing in the court yard with Legos and friends. 

Go Morrisons! (and Garlands)

We had a great family gathering in Mountain Lakes. 

Simon had a ton of fun with his cousins. 

Virginia 

And Zeke. 

We have a lovely family. 

Stats

Just in case anyone wants to know- the ride Simon rode is called Kingda Ka.

It goes 128 mph.

The drop itself is 418 feet at 90 degrees with a barrel roll as you go straight down.

It is a beast of a ride.

Simon is a beast of a child.  (I think I mean that literally.)

The Conquerer

Simon has done it. There is nothing he won't ride. 

Before. 

After. 

Seeing Happy

We didn't take any pictures to prove it (I think we were all too busy having fun) but we saw a whole bunch of happiness yesterday. Sarah and Jonathan celebrated their marriage and it could not have been lovelier. The happiness they radiated was profound and lifted all of us. Theirs will be a good marriage.
