Jack's 16th Birthday!

 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!
