Reading Books

Jack got some books from Uncle Marlon and Aunt Linda for his birthday.
Can you believe that Jack is 4? It doesn't seem like four years have gone by.
Where did the time go?

They got him four books from the Green Light Reader series. It is a really great series. I had never heard of them before. There are some fun activities at the end of each book to relate back to the book. Sometimes there are some questions.

He has been reading these books all day long. He likes to arrange them in the order he is going to read them. Then he will make you pick the one you want to read (or listen to him read).



This one is his favorite. I can't even tell you how many times we have read it.

The Heard Museum, McKinney, TX

Jack and I went on an adventure the 2nd day of Rosh Hashanah.
He was out of school for the day, so we went with some friends to the Heard Museum.

They had a special exhibit called Dinosaurs Roar. There was a 1/2 mile trail that had "dinosaurs" throughout the trail. Each dinosaur had information about it just like an animal at a zoo. It was very interesting!

Our first dinosaur!
