And we spent the evening doing this:
And this:
Jack helped supervise the weed pulling like this:
Dad, Mom and Poppa helped supervise the weed pullin' like this (they did help, too):
When I was pulling weeds I thought I heard a hummingbird and turned my head to see I was an inch away from this:
Dad, Wannie & I cooled down like this:
Then, Jack helped water the plants like this: 
Oh, the things you can do with Tinkertoys. The container has all kinds of pictures on it and Jack wants every one of them built. Dad and Popo were outside grilling chicken so that left the girls to help build with the Tinkertoys. Mom and I are not great builders, but we could manage to build a microphone, which of course, leads to this:
Here they are, building a roller coaster.
Jack's helping put some of the pieces together.
Jack & Popo with their roller coaster.
Jack said he wanted Popo to build a car, so here's the car. Popo said it was a hybrid type car.
Jack opening his Handy Manny doll Friday night.
He was worn out from the long day in the car, so he lounged on the couch Saturday morning with Wannie.
And he snuggled with Aunt Lissa while he watched the Three Little Pigs.
Here is Jack with all his loot.
Me & Jack with all his loot.
When we asked what kind of cake he wanted, he said he wanted sprinkle cupcakes. He said this every time we asked so that's what he got. Aunt Lissa made them and they were delicious.
Here he is with his new lunch box.
Oh yeah, he got a barrel full of monkeys. Popo liked this toy!
Jack is showing Aunt Sue his sprinkle cupcakes.
He blew out the candles one at a time.
Yummy!
I am 3! (on the 12th!)
Then Wannie & I took a nap. 
Pops and Abbott blowing bubbles.
Jack & Abbott getting "rained" on from the water sprinkler.
Jack was excited to sleep on his pallet on the floor. 
Kelly & Abbott having fun in the pool!
Most of the gang.
It's be nice if this boy was cute, huh?
Splash!
Jack was very interested in the goggles. He only wore them outside of the pool, though.
Oh Boy!
What a great day!
Ending the afternoon with some juicy watermelon.
Abbott approves of the juicy watermelon.
Jack's running around and around and around.
"Why yes, I am cute."
Janet has a lot of Ryan's old toys so it's fun to play with toys we played with as kids. Jack found this camera and went around taking every one's pictures. He'd snap it and say, "Oh, that's a good picture." Lucky for him he's getting one for his birthday (but don't tell him!).
When it was Abbott's turn with the camera, Jack first had to instruct him on how to use it. "You press this button, Abbott."
"Then you put it up to your eye."
"And then you say 'CHEESE!'" This is Abbott saying "CHEESE."
Just another cute picture of Abbott.
Jack decided he wanted to read some of his books so I asked Abbott if he wanted to read, too. Jack said he wanted Abbott to sit in his lap. It didn't last long.
Jack read this book to Abbott, it was so sweet. I have it on video, you'll see.
We spent most of the morning visiting with Tim & Janet and Jack convinced Janet to read him a few books. I think she read 4 books 3 times each.
Kelly took this picture of herself & Abbott. 
Jenna with 1 of her 5 kittens.
Gib & Clay
Jack hit the motherload with all the toys at their house. He had so much fun and was sad when it was time to leave. They were very generous with their toys and he ended up coming home with 3 new toys!
Chase & Abbott checking out another toy.
"Where did they go?" When he got used to everyone diving and jumping in the pool and realizing that they come back, he would do this when they jumped in the water.
Jack had more fun outside the pool, throwing things in for Jenna and Chase to dive after. 
Jack was trying to climb this tree while we waited for Amy & Bailey to arrive.
Checking out the penguins.
This girl knows how to ride and she's already getting the boys to dote on her. Actually, Jack was more interested in pulling the wagon than seeing the zoo.
We have a butterfly garden and it's pretty cool to go in and see all of them. They'll land on you, fly right in front of you. One sort of attacked Amy, fortunately for her I didn't get it on camera.
Just chillin' with the zebras. We tried to make them pose for pictures a lot. They were kinda over it before we even started but they obliged. Yes, Jack has on pink sunglasses. I've misplaced his but Bailey had an extra pair she was willing to share.
We also tried to force them to hold hands. They would kind of look at us like, "are you for real?" then they'd do it. Eventually, Jack decided he did not want to hold her hand anymore.
Every once in awhile they'll have zoo keepers doing demonstrations. Here's the barn owl. It was gorgeous.
We have a really cool red panda exhibit and Jack and Bailey had to "sleep" with the fake pandas in the tree. This was also more fun than the zoo animals.
Checkin' out the giant turtle.
I'm really proud of Jack, here. Normally he would be unsure of the animals but he did enjoy brushing them.
They just lay there and let kids brush them all day. They are probably the most well groomed goats around.
Bailey has no fear. She climbs all around and goes down any slide she sees. Jack is still unsure of all the adventure so he watched from the sidelines and was ready with high fives when she was done.
Two little birds in their nest.
Showing signs of getting tired.
Until we found the water! They had a lot of fun here. Jack was not happy when it was time to leave.
Bailey decided it was better to play in the water with no clothes on so Jack decided it was a good idea, too.
The best picture I could get of them, was naked and in the water. Go figure. We had a great day, we will have to do it again, soon!
