Umbrella Jumpimg

Every kid has to try it once.  At least those that have ownership of an umbrella.  Landon and Jadzia received umbrellas for Christmas and Xander got one when his second tooth fell out.  Xander's was a gift from the tooth fairy.  Now what is the stunt Landon surmised he  could accomplish with his umbrellas?  Umbrella jumping.

 Yes, that's right he thought his umbrella would catch the air allowing the effects of gravity to greatly slow.  I was relieved he did not wish to test this venture from the roof or top of the stairs.  Simply from the side of the couch so we did a science experiment.  Landon's hypothesis was it would slow him greatly down and he would glide two feet to the floor.  We set some safety rules up and he was told this was a one time deal.  Once I proved my point he could no longer try umbrella jumping.

 What did he discover when he accomplished his jump?  That umbrellas really don't slow down gravity but it was fun to find out.  Maybe next week when school starts up again we'll have to figure out the full scientific explanation to gravity and its properties.

In other news as you can tell from the umbrella jumping the big kids are back.  Landon's glasses came in and we went to pick them up.  He looks very handsome.

 He and Ronan are glasses buddies now.

 Inara and Jadzia got necklaces and bracelets from Grandma and had to wear them around the house throughout the day.  

 Here are my Irish twins giggling together on the couch.  I really don't know what was funny but they seem to understand each other.  They truly look like twins now as Inara is now the same height as Ronan.

Lastly here are the extra photos.
