For Jack's 16th birthday we decided we'd do 16 things! This was harder than I thought it would be when I first came up with the idea. It was like a logic puzzle trying to figure out what was open, when things opened, and drive times to get to certain places at certain times. We started out a little before 8:00 after opening presents at home!
Stop 1: Birthday Donuts!
Blowing out his candles!
Stop 2: Visiting our old next door neighbors
Stop 3: Visiting my parents
Stop 4: Coffee House on Cherry Street
Stop 5: Woodward Park with friends
Stop 6: Lunch with Dad at Smittys
Stop 7: Vintage Toy Mall
Stop 8: Sugar Booger
Stop 9: Andy Bs
They pooled their tickets to get us this great sign...
Stop 10: Barnes & Noble for a new minifigure
Stop 11: Rocket Fizz for some new fun sodas to try
4:30: Officially 16!! (Pic in the parking lot of Jay's clinic because we were on the way home.)
Stop 12: Picking out his "birthday cake"--because I didn't know if we'd have any time to go home and I didn't want to make something only to have it melt in the heat, I didn't make him a regular cake.
Stop 13: Eggroll Express for dinner
Stop 14: Haikey Creek with friends
Opening presents
His candles barely fit on his cake!
They hiked until it was almost dark
Stop 15: Fountains with friends
It's always a good time for a game of Concentration!
Stop 16: M&M McFlurry!
It was an exhausting day, but we had such a fun time! I can't believe my little baby is 16 already! Happy birthday, Jackabooter! We love you so much!
