Colin is finally a big boy 3 year old.
He woke up to some birthday balloons. (Thomas and green ones). The first order of business was to make his birthday cake. We spent the last few weeks trying to get some consistency with his answers. Balloons, sprinkles and chocolate seemed to stick. So cake pops were made.....and tested.....and cleaned up.

We went to the Wenham Train Museum which had trains, of course, and a couple other exhibits to check out. Colin loves trains.

We then had a delicious lunch

After not having a nap, even though there was only 7 hours of sleep the night before, we opened presents. So much good stuff. A tent, wind up flash light and boat for camping, build-able cars, a bunch of Thomas books, a tractor/farm set, massive sidewalk chalk and bubbles, and a beach outfit. He was pretty happy with it all and wanted to stop unwrapping to play with each thing.

Followed by some bubble popping.
We decided to try out an annual interview with Colin. The idea is to ask the same questions each year. This had to be tried quite a few times. The first attempt was the best, but the camera froze up. We finally got this one:
Now it's time to prepare for some camping in Maine and New Jersey and his big birthday party.
