We started out the day with swinging in the backyard. (Notice how the sun has not yet come up over the mountains...we like to make the most of birthdays around here.)
After breakfast, we headed out for a ride on his new balance bike. He's already a pro at popping wheelies.
His most exciting present was a trip to the mall, complete with three quarters for the candy machines and a [homemade] ticket to ride the train.
Finally, it was time for us to board. [He was a little confused about why the conductor didn't take his "ticket". I told him not to worry, that the conductor had seen that he had it.] He and I rode in the caboose, while Daddy rode in the next car. His eyes were this huge the whole time.
I was pretty excited about it too...
We rode through the mall, swerving back and forth and turning in circles. He was pretty serious, but each time I asked him if he was having fun, he smiled really big.
After the train ride, he spent quite a lot of time making "bagel sandwiches" for me to eat using these hair things from H&M.
And then, we indulged our birthday king with a hamburger and fries for lunch, followed by some play time on the machines behind.
What a great day. Terrific set of pictures.
