Jon's Birthday

day













The pictures are out of order, but here is a quick overview.
Friday
We went to stay at a hotel in Abilene with my parents. There was an indoor pool there so that was the main entertainment. Also, Jonathan got the scooter he has been wanting for so long, so the hotel parking lot made a good practice place for that. I fell off the thing and darn near broke my knee!
Saturday
We took the kids to a paint your own pottery place. Jonathan painted a big TRex for his new dino room and of course Kait did a frog. We always enjoy that place. Then Mom and I slipped away for some girl time shopping while the Men watched the children swim and swim and swim. Yesterday (his actual birthday)
We had dino day at Pre-K. I read dinosaur stories to his class. Then all the kids got dino tatoos. Then we made our own dinosaur books. Then charles and I buried dinosaurs in the sandbox outside and the little paleontologists dug for dino treasures. Then we had dino cake which Jonathan made.
After school we took him for a blizzard and he got his giant T-Rex balloon. There was another dino balloon, but the wind took it far far away.
Then we took him home to see his new dinosaur room which we did while he was having breakfast at school. The picture above isn't great, but it is lots of fun.
He also got skates that I painted the new "flying J" brand on the back of, drums (which he really loved) and a few dinosaur things. Overall, it was a super dinoriffic birthday!
