Double Digit Boy

Our little man is becoming "not so little."
Jake celebrated his TENTH Birthday!


He was very thankful for another addition to his Lego Dino set.


He loved his wildly anticipated lego set from Connor and Paige!



Gotta love when everyone is excited about the gift!



After breakfast and gifts and (shh! don't tell!) no school, 
we went to a reptile center in Ann Arbor to see Jake's favorite animals. 





















This was one gi-norm-ous frog!
(Marine Toad)











Jake was the only one impressed! 





I think this would be Jake's dream job at the moment.









And THIS is what Jake would like his bedroom to look like! Ha!



Then we moved on to another nearby nature center and saw some
bald Eagles (male).










There were two (female) bald Eagles and they were just breath taking.




A Paragrin Falcom 
(Jake's FAVORITE!!!)





An Owl...




And a Turkey Vulture.
(We have some of these at the yard of our farm!)



After a family dinner at Rainforest Cafe', we managed to surprise Jake with a house full of his favorite people to finish of his fun-filled day!


















Jake and his best buddy, Lucas Brumm.


















Jake freaking out at 8:16 PM because that was the time he
was born and he is NOW officially 10 years old!
