Our little boy turned four years old today! We had a great birthday party for him, at our house, on Saturday. A lot of family was able to come by to help us celebrate. Jake got spoiled with all the presents, most of which were related to Cars.
Then, this morning, we had to hustle to let him open our gifts before Church. After Church, we headed over to the Detroit Zoo. It was amazing how different the experience is when you feel like the only family there! We actually got to sit and talk in the the tunnel at the Polar Bear exhibit. We had a great time watching one of the young polar bears try to turn a seal into lunch. A very friendly volunteer explained that two of the seals will actually hang out by the window that divides them from the bears just to get the bear to run into it as it tries to hunt!
We were hoping that with the cooler weather that a lot of the animals would be up and moving, but besides the bears, that wasn't really the case. It was warm enough that they let he giraffes out, so we got to watch them walk around and eat for a while.
We spent the rest of the day playing with Lego's, cars, and trains while watching some great basketball on TV. After dinner we even made it back outside for some driveway tennis. We got Jake his own racket and some training tennis balls, and he's really improving in the few short days that we've been playing. It's no surprise but getting a racket that fits him instead of him using Mommy's really made a huge difference. Today was also the first time he was able to do a bounce serve. When we tried on Thursday, he couldn't even get the ball to stay within 5 feet on the bounce, so it was a HUGE improvement.
