Jacob's Fourth Birthday

Jacob's actual birthday was Monday, October 27th. Josh took the day off to spend with Jacob. They hung out in the morning and played with all his new toys. At lunchtime, they came downtown, picked me up at work, and we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory. We got a seat in the trolley, which reminded Jacob of the Polar Express. He kept running from end to end looking for the brakes and periodically he's lose his ticket out the window.

Afterwards, they went to the Children's Museum, which was unfortunately closed on Mondays. Never fear, the Downtown Central Library is just as good. They played in the room of dry erase walls and got lots of books about germs.

That night, we ate dinner at Loon Lake Lodge with the animatronic animals. Tyler learned how to roar and ended up roaring at the fish tanks.

Finally, it was time for Jacob to open his presents from us. We got him small legos, a motorcycle, a care bear, a lobster, an Incredibles shirt and sweatband, and yes, the barbie. He's been making us watch every barbie commercial, so we'd know exactly what to get him. We did it, and he thinks she's magic. He really just likes the songs that she sings when you press her hand. We all know both of them by heart now.

It was a good birthday, and Jacob had a great time. Happy Birthday Jacob!
