This year, for Jack's 4th Birthday, we decided to throw him a party at the Lied Discovery Children's Museum.  I know for a fact that the kids all had a great time exploring everything, playing, getting their faces painted and creating the usual Rieckmann Ruckus that we are so well known for! 

Blowing giant bubbles was a highlight of the day
The Wind Tunnel created winds in excess of 65 mph!!
It was everyones' favorite.!

(Don't you just hate when the picture of an important moment comes out blurry?!  Ug!)

We all had a great time at Jack's party.  I think all of the kids probably passed out in their cars on the way home from all of the running, sweaty-hair, red-cheeked, play. 
As for me, I spent the day in utter disbelief that my baby is four.
