Happy Birthday Jimbo! They boys loved telling daddy 'Happy Birthday' randomly throughout the day. We planned a trip to Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, which was delayed about 1 1/2 hours this AM when Alex's head collided with Tanner's chin...resulting in a trip to the doctor and 3 stitches for Alex :( Alex officially is in the lead - with 2 wounds requiring stitches compared to Tanner's one. I'm afraid that if Alex balds in older age he'll have a permanent reminder of he and Tanner's frequent head on collisions. I guess it's just bound to happen with 2 very busy 4-year old boys.
Binder Park Zoo was great. Tanner's favorite part was riding the trains, and Alex's was petting and feeding the giraffes. With temps in the low 70s, we couldn't have picked a more perfect day for a zoo outing. We finished the day at my parents house in Jackson with grilled food, birthday brownies, and introduction to an obviously addictive outdoor bean bag game. For my sibs...game on...can't wait for the next gathering! This is right up my alley...a shooting/scoring game you can play with beer in hand!

Sounds like a mostly great day, other than those stitches. Hooray! Happy birthday, Jim!
(A zoo where you get to feed giraffes?? We must visit this place.)
What a great day, except for the stitches.
With two boys, stitches in the head must be all too common.
Still, it's great to have a gorgeous wife and two adorable boys to share your birthday.
We took Uncle Rich and Dan camping, & we hiked Rifle Falls on Uncle Richard's birthday. We'll have to take you there sometime. Lots of caves to explore. The boys would love it.
I am always amazed four year old boys are not extinct. Sounds like you had a good day! Hope it was a very happy birthday,Jimmy!
Feeding the Giraffes is so fun! I would like to ride trains too. Sorry about the morning part of the day. The rest sounds great! I expect to be introduced to this game next time we're out. It sounds like fun.
Ouch on the stitches end of things! Sounds like a fun trip to the zoo, and I'm hoping you got some pictures! Happy Birthday Jim :)
I'm so glad things turned out OK. Stitched were a tradition for me growing up. Jim didn't get stsrted until late, Heather started (and ended) about age 5. The important thing is to be able to have that scar to embellish stories on, Like the time you were surfing and barely missed being eaten by the Great White. These things are important as you grow older. I'm just glad there were no serious injuries and the boys were able to enjoy the rest of the day. Don't giraffes have purple tongues? That's always a crowd pleaser.
By the way, this blogging business is a great way for me to find out stuff. Thanks Amy,
My stitches taught me never to climb dressers; they fall on you.
