Then we headed down to Omaha's very awesome zoo! That was Jack's choice of things to do. We rode on the train, which we all enjoy. 

Late that afternoon, Nana and Papa came over for dinner and gift opening. We ordered in pizza, ate cupcakes and opened presents. Jack was very spoiled the entire day and Charlie was a great big brother! There were just a couple instances of jealousy over the new gifts, but overall, Charlie did a great job!


The best and funniest part of Jack's birthday is that he is really into fireman and firetrucks. Most of his gifts, aside from the Spiderman bike that we got him and a few others, were focused on the fireman theme. He got a couple of really neat firetrucks and a rescue helicopter. He also got a neat set of rescue vehicles. We got him some fireman pajamas and fireman rain boots. My mom got him a fireman raincoat. He was so very excited for all of his fireman gear that when he put it all on, which he did a lot that evening, he renamed himself "Firefighter Joe." This is what we are to call him when he is in his fire gear. When he's in regular clothing, he's just Jack. He ran around the house a lot throwing his gear on and saying he had a fire to go to or a job to do! Then he would take it off and just be Jack again. Later that evening, as the boys were outside playing with their Matchbox Color Blaster set, Jack decided he needed to get the hose out to help him fight fires in his fire gear. He is so animated that it's hard to capture the scene in words, but we took a few pictures.



Here are a few more photos from the day:
