JJ Driving

JJ prepares to drive by checking his mirrors and adjusting his seat to the correct position - he picked a sporty black car for his driving experience. "Gumma" helped to adjust his seat belt and kept him company before the ride started :)

JJ "Driving a Car" at the Fair

JJ really enjoyed the rides at the 4-H Fair the first time around. The second time he was more of a serious driver. Will this caution continue once he has a real license???

4-H Fair Outing

Today we visited the 4-H Fair with some friends. We saw lots of animals, enjoyed some treats, and JJ rode a couple rides. He had the biggest smile ever while riding in a car and on a motorcycle - and had the biggest tears ever when he had to get off of both :(

On the drive home I was naming the animals we had seen to keep him occupied since he was pretty tired. I named several, then said "and what else?" to myself as I was thinking of what I was missing. JJ then made an "oinking" sound - and he was right! The only animal I had left out was the pig!

JJ's Popsicle in the Pool

JJ enjoyed a popsicle while playing in his "Cars" pool in our front yard yesterday. I don't know what he loved more - the popsicle or swimming in the front yard. From his pool he watched cars, motorcycles, and a bus go by and waved to most of them. He didn't put his popsicle down until only the stick was left - with popsicle drippings EVERYWHERE!

JJ Petting a Pony

JJ was interested in all the animals at the petting zoo at the Double JJ Ranch in Michigan - but actually touched the pony!

JJ the Drummer

JJ learned to drum from his Uncle Evan last week! Check out these mad drumming skills :)

JJ Riding the Zoo Train

JJ loved the train at the zoo...he cried when he had to get off :( He is intrigued by trains right now. "whoo whoo!"
