He really wanted to just open presents but we decided we needed an activity for the day also. (Parents are no fun.) We suggested a train ride thru the caves in town or the children's museum. First it was the museum, but the day before his birthday he said he wanted to do that another day (because REALLY, all he wanted to do was open presents). Grace convinced him to try the train because it would be cold in there and they could try out their new winter jackets! The picture is from the week before, when we discovered the train under the Schlossberg mountain. The train travels through one of the many tunnels under the Schlossberg. The tunnels were used for air raid shelters during World War II. This train is a fairy tale train and takes you past little fairy tale scenes like Rapunzel.Henry's birthday went about like this: open some presents, play with them, go to Grandma and Grandpa's hotel, open some presents, play with them, train ride, lunch, open some presents, play with them, eat cake, play. play, play.

Sounds like there wouldn't have been any time for friends with all the fun stuff you did! I hope you have room to bring all those toys home. Sounds like more than 500 lbs of luggage on the way home.

I got so lucky taking that first picture, capturing the sheer joy Henry has for a new toy! This present happens to be a forklift truck, which for those of you that know something about what I do (design warehouses), it's really fun for me that Henry loves forklift trucks so much :-) If fact, we were out today shopping at BeauMax (it is sort of like a Lowe's or Home Depot) and he saw a t-shirt with a forklift truck on in, and even though it is getting too cold here for short-sleeved shirts, I had to buy it for him!
