101


The company picnic was geared toward the whole family this year. We went to the Lugnuts game -- a first for me -- and both boys had a blast. They have the carnival-type blow-up jumpy things -- a first for Jack. They also had a huge, huge slide. At first, Jack was not interested. But after seeing some "grils" slide down, he decided he was up for it ... at least until he got to the top. Then he decided he didn't want to come down -- at all.


So we sent up a co-worker's daughter to try to convince him to come down.

Brennan wasn't worried in the least. But after everyone on the base (including strangers) couldn't get him to come down, Joe realized he'd have to go get him. The plan was to get up there and bring him down the ladder slide. But, Joe slipped.


And they rolled several times down the steep slide. Jack's face was borderline petrified. Joe just looked like he was trying to look like he was is control.



Luckily, by the fifth and final role, Jack thought it was hilarious. But when he said he'd like to try it again, I distracted him with an ice cream sandwich.
