This evening Scott whisked Christian away to a surprise in Seattle. They went to
see the live Dora the Explorer show at the Paramount Theatre. When the show
started, Chrsitian watched the activity on stage with awe. The show was basically
an adaptation of one of the TV episodes, but with extra singing and side-stories.
Christian had a terrific time, and Scott enjoyed seeing him so happy.
Today was the day of the big ballet recital. Scott took Alexis to the dress rehearsal
in the morning, then the whole family attended the recital at the Pantages Theatre.
Our seats were not the greatest, and Christian frequently interrupted our viewing
of the show with his need to visit the restroom, but we were enchanted at seeing
our little princess perform so well!
The kids got a Slip 'n' Slide which we set up in the backyard today. Adrienne,
Scott, the kids, and Adrienne's cousing Anthony who's visiting, all got soaked and
had a great time!
Christian turned 3 years old today, and we had a party at Scott's parents' Great
Falls house in his honor. His paternal great-grandparents were there, along with
Scott's sister and brother-in-law, aunt, uncle, cousin, and new second cousing
Cordy (she's 9 months old). All Christian wanted to do was eat cake, which we let
him do after he played a couple games. Click here for pictures.
This afternoon the Jordan Five went to Great Falls' "Electric City Waterpark,"
accompanied by Scott's mom and sister. We spent time in the kiddie pool and the
regular pool. Alexis even worked up the courage to go down the 5-story
waterslides. Christian went down them to...on his auntie's lap. :)
After night fell, a big, noisy thunderstorm took over the sky, producing rumbling
thunder and spectacular lightning flashes. We watched in awe as God orchestrated
a terrific light show.
