Jack's Goodnight Prayer

Thank you God for (a bunch of nice things like people he knows, his day, etc.)....
and thank you for guns (mom - guns?) yes, guns, like bang bang (with finger pointing at me).... and people, thank you for people. Amen.

Our day at the zoo

We basically spent the day either in the car or at Como Zoo. First in the afternoon with Gretta, Megan and Christina, then came back with Heather and Madeline for Boo at the Zoo this evening. Very fun day, lotsa laughs. Happy Halloween!!

Our day at the zoo continued

Jack got the chance to see the entire Star Wars Crew in full costume and get his picture taken with Darth Vader or Darth Mal, but it was a bit too life like for him. Our little Vader was a little nervous at how big Darth Vader was. I almost got my picture taken with them since it's such a drastic part of our life, you know, to document for the future, but thought it might be a bit strange without Jack Vader Dailey. Not to mention there weren't any other kids brave enough to take on the force. They really did look like the real thing. It was pretty hilarious how Jack had the chance to see his mighty heroes, but it turned out he's all talk about taken on Vader if he ever sees him. Who knew? :)

We had a great time with Grandpa and Nana while they were here. We drove up to Lake Superior and saw amazing fall colors. Jack loved swimming at the water park, throwing rocks into the Lake, hunting squirrels with his new bow and arrow, and eating pre-birthday cake complete with Nana's blue frosting. Eli is ever amazed at his big brother's antics.
