Jacob Attends His First B-day Party

The family weathered the storm and made the snowy trek to the big metropolis of Ann Arbor for an afternoon of zapping fun. Why? Sydney turns nine and had her party at the Zap Zone with her friends (almost all boys...).

Jacob was a real trooper all the way there and didn't make a peep. There were many little crashes along the way, but he kept his stride and didn't fear daddy's driving... It took us longer than the norm, but we made it safely.

All had a good time!! The kids really enjoyed running around zapping each other in the maze of glowing darkness. Oh wait!! What's this taller kid doing? Is it... maybe, um... Is it really...?!?! Yep, it is Amy getting challenged by Sydbear to a game of Dance Revolution. I won't say who won, but the dancin' fool Amy was scored 'F' on each of her rounds (oaky, so I have been corrected... She scored a 'C-' on her final attempt). In all fairness, she wasn't usually paying attention to the game and didn't know how it worked until the 3rd round. She was too busy watching Jacob smilin' and winkin' at her on the sidelines. Just wait Jacob, mom has been known to have a LOUD cheer... ;)!

After the party, we went out to a Chinese dinner and then headed home. By this time, the roads were pretty good and not filled with too many slow pokes... It was a nice adventurous day out in the snow....
