Saturday, what a day!

We had one heck of a busy Saturday!  We went to "The Breakfast Stop".

Jacob ate 2 pancakes!

We walked 3 blocks to the Sheriff's Department.

Crossed the street to the Library.

Where Jacob checked out 6 books (2 on tigers, 1 about sharks that he picked himself!)

Around the courthouse.

Down another 3 blocks to walk through downtown.

And back home to finish a few jobs.

To this:

And from here:

To here:

As well as from this:

Back to this:

I was able to accomplish so much as Jacob took a nap and Jeremy was outside making this:

Into this:

After his nap, Jacob did some of this:

And Kelsey, she...

Ate some of these:

And thankfully, we had Sunday to recover, in the rain, and the thunder, and the lightning - a PERFECT day for napping, watching movies, and just plain old loafing on the couch (and a baby shower)!
