underwater camera!!!

after diving fora while jack declared he needed a camera to take pics of the sharks....
we put clear tape over the end for a lense....that excited them greatly =)

jack's scuba gear

he watched a diving show with his daddy a while ago.,...and decided he needed his own aparatus =)
i helped him put the rubber band in the loop but other than that he designed his whole get up =)
we even had to drive into town to get on the computer so he could find out the name of the part that goes in his mouth...the respirator (i couldn't think of it!)
he swam and dove all afternoon!
