Jacobs big day

Jacob was up at 5:30 am just to excited about turning 5 to sleep anymore. He was given the honor of choosing a PS2 game to rent when their chores were done on Friday, he picked Cars, and he wanted to play it. After everyone else was up, he got to supervise his special birthday breakfast of eggs with cheese, toast and hash browns. Then he started to ask for a road trip. So, around 11:00 am, we went up to Gold Canyon, a town about a hour up into the mountains and we played for a while there. When we got home, Jacob finally got what he was waiting for, PRESENTS!! Lillian went first, elbow pads, then Erica, knee pads, then Heather, helmet, then Benjamin, license plate, and finally Mom and Dad, BIKE! He suited up and went right out in that 100+ degree temperature. After 15 minutes they all came in again, bright red and with sweat streaming down faces. Just before dark Daddy took Jacob to the park to play some more and they only came back when it was to dark to see anymore. Uncle Samuel, Aunt Caren, Adam, Kip and Cassie (Rad and Jenny's little girl) came over for cake and ice cream after dinner. Dinner was Jacobs most perfect meal, hot cheese sandwiches with the crusts cut off. And Jacob went to bed extremely satisfied with his day, without a pull up because he is now five and refused to wear it.
