Fun at Jungle Java

We spent a whole morning climbing and playing at Jungle Java (a cafe/jungle gym). Maria dove right in with no fear and as soon as she found a slide she was hooked. She went down the biggest slide without even waiting for us. Joshua was apprehensive at first but by the end was going everywhere alone and climbing all over the place. His favorite spot was the tree house. (See the picture of Dad and kids hanging out in tree house). Sammy went along for the ride with no complaints but fell sound asleep after a while.

Working with Joshua

Joshua, Today you rode in your baby bjorn for two hours while your mom took a nap. We worked in the yard together—you were such a good helper. I trimmed the wisteria vine that grows over the deck, you sat there watching, as the leaves started falling you began laughing. As I continued cutting, you laughed even harder, hard enough to get the hiccups.


Next we worked in the garden taking out the old plants and turning the soil. You sat patiently in your little seat watching everything I did. I had so much fun just being with you. You make my work so much more meaningful, and enjoyable. You kept your hands to your self most of the time, I assumed that you were content to just watch and learn. A few times you reached out for the rake, to see what it tasted like, so I let you…
Thanks for being such a good boy. I love you. -Dad
