I Did A Mitzvah

A mitzvah is when you do something good towards someone. Think of it as a good deed or act of kindness without being asked to do so. Each week a child in our class is recognized for doing a mitzvah. This week I was recognized. My mitzvah was “cheering up a friend who was sad.” My little friend Melanie was upset because she got a boo-boo and I helped her to feel better.

I hammed it up at the lunch table at Shabbatt with my certificate and sticker for the car.

Wall Springs Play Day

Last week we went to Wall Springs to go to the playground and go for a nature hike.

I made Mommy go down the BIG slide with me.

I enjoyed climbing all over the place.

Even the little slides were fun!

I have learned to scale the rock wall all the way to the top!

Then we went hiking. I am too short for the water fountain still but no worries… I brought my Mommy step-stool!

I didn’t want Daddy taking more pictures so I hid under the bench.

We climbed the stairs to the top of the lookout tower I liked looking down at the “hippos” in the water! 🙂 hehe

After the fun at the playground we went out to Thai for dinner. I didn’t like the menu choices so Mommy ordered me a HUGE plate of steamed broccoli and I ate the WHOLE thing! 🙂 YUMMY!

Take A Picture Of That…HEHEHEHEHE

So this morning we loaded the car and headed to the “Clearwater Airpark”. Okay, so it is only a few minutes from the house. I got to jump in a bounce house and play a few games. I even won a little balsa wood airplane playing grab-a-duck! Daddy saw they were doing helicopter rides and I got really excited. Mom and Dad were expecting a total meltdown because of the sound and newness of going UP! We had to wait about 1.5 hours for our turn. EIGHT minutes in the air, hmmm. YIPPIE??

I wasn’t too sure about it. This is my “emo” (emotional) face. I have been showing this side a lot lately.

Mommy let me play with the camera to pass some of the time. I was crawling under chairs to take pictures of bugs.

I got in and got buckled up. Then Mommy put these HUGE headphones on me. I was a little scared and grabbed for her hand immediatly.

Me laughing uncontrolably. I had turned to Mommy and said “Take a picture of that”. My voice echoed back through my headphones and I thought it was te funniest thing I had ever heard.

I reapeated over and over… “Take a picture of that…hehehehehe….Take a picture of that….hehehehehe”

Mommy kept pulling the microphone away from my mouth but I would pull it back and giggle “Take a picture of that!!!!! HEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!”

I had an AWESOME time up in the air and at the air show. There was even a guy flying his “model” plane. It was a remote controlled JET!!!!! Yes, a JET! ZIPPPPPP through the sky. It apparently cost about $9000, just for the PLANE! Think about fuel, controller, all the broken pieces from learning to fly it! WOWZER!

What an awesome morning…

More blogs to come from vacation and the rest of today. Mommy will try to get them posted in the next few days! 🙂 HONEST!
