Birthday Festivities

Jakob was very excited about his 3rd birthday, talking about it for a couple of weeks before the actual date. He celebrated on July 24th with cupcakes at school and then presents and an ice cream cone with Mom and Dad. He had another birthday celebration on July 27th with Nana, PaPa and Uncle Joe with a construction zone birthday cake and a trip to the Museum of Transportation where he got to ride the train and look at all of the cars!  He was very intrigued by the water fountain at the museum - his first time seeing and trying one of those. Lots of fun!

July 4th Weekend

Jakob had a big time over July 4th weekend.  We started the celebration on July 3rd with the local fireworks.  We parked in a church parking lot around 7 pm and walked to get ice cream at Fritz' to kill some time.  He enjoyed playing with the neighbors on the playground while we waited for the fireworks to start at 9:15.  He loved the fireworks display, saying "I like those" and "They look like bubbles".   On July 4th we enjoyed playing outside and went to another local church for bounce houses and snow cones.  On Saturday, we went to visit Maddie and Ms. Catrina at the apartment pool where they were staying.  Jakob enjoyed playing with Maddie and found a new love of "swimming" with the raft.  On Sunday, he enjoyed a visit from PaPa, Nana and Uncle Joe.  Mommy made homemade ice cream and peach cobbler and he gobbled it up.  It was an ice cream weekend!  So much fun!
