Forest Park






There is a beautiful park close to our home. We've taken a few hikes through the forest, played a game of soccer and toured the visitor center. This time we wanted to see the trees in their Autumn glory and shoot some rockets.

We have two rocket shooters that you stomp on to make the rockets shoot into the air. Jakob and George have an on going competition to see who can get it to fly the highest. George blew the top of one once and has since softened his stomp. Jakob is getting really close to stomping as hard as George.

After the rockets we took a short hike through the forest just before sunset. Absolutely gorgeous. After the hike we drove the scenic route through the park and saw some deer. Jakob was scared and excited all at the same time. He couldn't believe he was seeing a deer and at the same time he was pretty sure we were going to hit them or they were going to hit us. We assured him we were going very slow and they were just watching us. He accepted this and promptly went to sleep.
