Jacob's 3rd Birthday with Mom and Dad

Joe and I decided to start a new tradition with both boys starting on their 3rd birthday. It is a special day (on their actual birthday) that they get to spend with mom and dad ONLY all to themselves. Caleb still has 1.5 years until he gets his first one, but we decided it was worthwhile to wait until it actually MEANS something to them and three is a good age for that :)

We decided to take Jacob to the Pacific Science center in downtown Seattle and it was a GREAT idea because he had sooooooooo much fun!!! Here are some pictures from our day.

Our first stop...the water guns :)

I thought this picture was REALLY cute!

You're so strong, daddy pushing that ball all by yourself!!

How did you do that??

Before we head inside for our fun times, let's stop and have a snack! He even got his very own soda (1/2 water and 1/2 seven-up of course).

We looked at the dinosaurs

Look at these little one's, dad!

This is how much Jacob weighs on all of our planets

Up close

GROSS!!!!

Their butterfly garden is REALLY cool...

They like fruit :)

Pretty

Playing with the anemone.

Silly mirror

Let me help you, dad!

They had a circus exhibit that was their traveling exhibit. I wasn't very impressed, but Jacob liked it.

Probably his one and only time to play with an elephant trunk.

Joe walking a tight rope...

He made the choice for lunch at Weinerschnitzel.

He crossed his arms just like dad and thought he was funny.

We bought him his own sucker.

Picture with mom (see... I was there!)

Walking back to the car. I must say...it was REALLY nice not having a stroller!!! We did miss the cup holders, though.

On our way home. He was sooooo happy!

5 minutes later, he was passed out with sucker in hand!
