We then went to Willows Farm and had a good time playing in the indoor playbarn. As a special treat we tried ice skating there for the first time which Jack has been longing to do. I think the general consensus was that he liked it if he had two blades on each skate, but when we upgraded him to one blade per skate he spent more time on the ice instead of upright and was not as keen.

This is a bit harder....

Two blades is much easier...
We ended the day with a family trip to Pizza Hut, which is starting to become a family birthday tradition. It was a lot of fun, not to mention the ice cream factory at the end which was an extra bonus. While at dinner we had Jack make a list of everything that he accomplished or learned in the last twelve months. Here is his list with some additions by Theo:
- play football/soccer
- stop thumb sucking
- read
- write
- play guitar
- 2 Turkish words
- eat cucumbers
- lost four teeth
- Jacob's twelve sons
- moved up to Good News Club at church

Before heading to bed for the night, we took his weight and height measurements. Our six year old is 51 pounds and 3 feet 11 inches. Not too bad considering he wasn't even seven pounds six years ago!

Glad his birthday went so well. I tried several times to call. I managed to leave a couple of messages, but the other calls didn't go through because Pingo was having issues.
I agree with Jack...two blades on each skate are easier when ice skating.
