First Day of School Pictures

Jacob was very accommodating to taking pictures this year. I included a retrospective of the last 3 years.

We had a great day with our friend Debra and her daughter Coryn. The kids were enjoying the last few days of summer.

Blue Poison Dart Frog.

Spider Crab.

Touch tanks.

Freshwater Sawfish.

Horseshoe Crab.

Jacob enjoys all things related to nature and is especially fond of sea creatures at the moment. As with most outings he wants to know when we can go back again.

Jacob's Scientist Birthday Party

Enjoy the pictures of Jacob's 6th birthday party.

Making scientist glasses.
Oscilloscope, looking at sound waves.

Making sparks.


Making slime.

Jaclyn, the teen driver.

Friend, neighbor and all around helper Linda.

Making the cake was a group effort.

A smoking good cake, dry ice was the key. Jacob didn't miss the candles.

Oh, presents, thanks Grandpa.

Thank you Auntie Thea.

Oh, goody Lego. Thank you Gehringers.

I think the scientist birthday party was a great success. I am not sure how we are going to top this one.
