Yesterday November 9, 2011 our twins turned 8 years old.. Time flies when your having fun! It is crazy that they are already 8. And that in less than a month they will be Baptized. So, to celebrate there special day, Joe took the day off, my parents were in town and we pulled the boys out of school for the day.
The day started off by getting up and eating some delicious cinnamon rolls (that we bought), then me and Joe ran a secret errand (cake and there gift)... Then we got everyone ready and headed off for the day. After a few pit stops it was time for lunch. The boys chose Burger King. While there, they even asked for there own burger king crown they wanted so badly, because it is there birthday they said...
After Burger King we headed to Target to get there gift from grandma and grandpa. They got to pick what they wanted in a price range limit.. We got them an Atari game system flashback that has 60 games built in. They LOVE it! After a little shopping we then headed to the Air Force Museum which they both love and I love that its free.. We spent a good couple of hours looking at the planes, watching some videos and playing with the simulations in the kid area. My parents even enjoyed it and thought it was pretty amazing.
After all that we then headed home for a little bit before dinner. We had asked them were they wanted to go for there birthday dinner and they said some where, were they will sing to us. The only place I could think of that they liked and that sang was Texas Road House. They were so excited and it was a great dinner. After our waitress came over and did there sort of song, its more like they yell "everyone we have Jacob and Blake that turned 8 here celebrating there birthday with us, so on the count of 3 lets give them a big yee haa". It was so funny to see there faces and after it was done Jake leans in and says that was embarrassing.. Laughed my but off.
So, after a great dinner we headed home, the boys put there lego's together, we relaxed. We then were able to Skype with Joe's parents and have them sing Happy Birthday with us before we ate the cake.
In the words of the twins... it was a great day!
Its amazing the blades on this helicopter and just the size of these jets. Its amazing they get off the ground..
The kid area were they sat in simulations and there was a guy that was there showing the kids how different things worked in certain planes.. they may have even learned a little..
