Jacob's Birthday!

Jacob's birthday happened to fall on the day of the fifth grade pool party at school! All the students walked from school to our neighborhood rec center for a fun-filled day of swimming, games, tennis, basketball, pizza, slushies, popcorn, and more! Not a bad way to start his birthday! 

After school, several carloads of kids caravanned to the southeast side of town for a dining adventure. Big Lou's Pizza has been featured on Man vs. Food and here you can see why! This 42" pizza was as big as our table. Half cheese and half pepperoni, sliced in slivers as long as your forearm - or your whole arm if you're Lucas! This one pizza fed seven adults and 11 children with no slices left. I was impressed with how good it tasted. I was expecting much worse ... size over quality ... but it was like Jersey pizza. Soft and foldable, cheesy and delicious.

After pizza, we had birthday cake. One of the employees came out and led the restaurant in the birthday song accompanied by a megaphone! Jacob was thoroughly embarrassed but he recovered pretty quickly.

And because the end of the year is crazy like that, we dropped Sarah off at a sleepover on the way back to our side of town and then hit a graduation party!
