jack was the assistant this year.

if he needed a drink during the fireworks...

jack had to cover his ears.

he had to put up with the squirming & 

the running commentary as to what every firework looked like.

circle.

heart.

waterfall.

pumpkin pie. 

a lot braver this year...

he actually heard 1/3 of them.

been looking forward to my fiya woks all day.

not disappointed.

mother nature even held off the storm until we got home.

jack loves pearl jam.

has been serenading us all week.

i think he is trying to convert the boys.

they found some videos on you tube...

illustrating what it sounds like eddie vedder is singing.

totally random words with images set to the music.

had them giggling for about 30 minutes.

he cuddled down.

fell back to sleep.

nicklaus just wrapped around him and finished watching myth busters.
