A precursor to rollercoasters

We took Griffin to Rocket Park (it has an official name, but no one really knows what it is) on Saturday afternoon and he loved it. Patrick put him on the slides, and I - like most mothers - panicked a bit because well, he seems so small and those slides seem so big. He started on the smaller ones and giggled each time he slid down, so we started moving him to bigger and bigger slides. I panicked each time he graduated to a bigger slide (and yes, I made sure Patrick went with him down the tornado slide!). He loved it - the bigger, the better! So, here's a look at how his day went:

Griffin is outrageously cute! I have a small (but larger than yours) red-headed boy too. He's called Alexander and he's seven. Also very cute. I just read your comment on my fledgling blog and thank you very much for it.
