Aaron's Personal Page

One of the things Marnie really enjoys but I don't is roller coasters that throw the riders upside-down.  Well, this past summer, Marnie gained a fellow rider in this family when Aaron rode his first upside-down coaster with Mommy!

They actually rode that thing more than once in the same day, and Aaron is now looking forward to riding similar machines with her!

Aaron's always enjoyed spelunking with us, and we've now lost track of how many caves he's visited.  He always enjoys going back to certain ones, and we really need to keep an eye on him when we're down there.  Aaron's liable to start his own explorations!

Always a bit of a klutz (he used to fall over while standing still on a flat surface!), since being in gymnastics he's been more stable.  Here, he's showing of his handstand skills -- with a little help, of course:

One thing that we can count on from him is intense creativity.  Whether it's building things with Legos, marble sets (shown below), Lincoln Logs, or whatever, he always tries to build the biggest and best things that he can.  Notice from this picture that, at nine-years-old, he's now almost as tall as Mommy!  We're very proud of him, and enjoy watching him grow into a bright young man.
