Jack and His Ladies

One of the great things about Oak Hill is that there are always lots of playmates around for Jack. This morning our family ventured out to the front orchard and before we knew it there were quite a few other families that had joined us.

Usually the parents are able to stand around and have nice conversations in between interruptions of reminding their kids to share, helping a kid up who has just fallen off his bike, or instructing their kid not to eat the apples that have lots of bad spots on it. Why didn't anyone tell us that after having kids you never have uninterrupted conversations, at least while they are awake? Maybe they did and I wasn't listening!

Anyway, in between those conversations today we noticed that the kids had invented a nice little homemade roller coaster. This is what kids do in a country that doesn't get enough snow to have good sledding. Hope you enjoy the video - we did! Oh, and yes, that is a fairy on the back of the skate board. She is one of Jack's best playmates called Grace.

And lastly, notice the ratio of boys to girls - Jack is one lucky dude!

That's the safest use of a skateboard that I have ever seen. Tony Hawk would approve except he would recommend helmets.
