Fair

The Topsfield Fair has come and gone.  Jack got to go twice this year, once with us and once with Nana while Derrick and I escaped to celebrate our anniversary for the weekend.  We all went together on the first Saturday to see monster trucks, but got to do a few other things as well.

We viewed some interesting poultry.

Jack was very patient waiting for the monster truck show to start.

It helped that dad got popcorn and cider to share.

Monster trucks.  

Jack got the panda this year.

Pew, pew!

Favorite pumpkin

Nice pose in front of the giant pumpkin.

We did not attend the parade at Great Nana's like usual this year because Jack had soccer in the morning and we also wanted to attend the monster truck extravaganza which wasn't until late in the afternoon.  But we did not miss out of fried dough because Nana saved us some to eat after we retuned from the Fair.  

Here is Jack at Great Nana's enjoying his dough and watching Nana fry up some more.

Checkup

Jack had his year five checkup last week.  He weighed in at just under 51 pounds and is now 3' 10.25" tall.  He had to get his polio shot which he was not happy about, but when the time came he did great and he got a cute band aid with dogs on it which he bravely ripped off himself that night.  The doctor's assessment was, "Keep doing what you're doing, he's doing great!"

Here is Jack at his year one checkup when he weighed half what he does now.
