I'm not sure if I can say that Henry got the hang of opening presents. We helped him open the first present (blue paper), but for the second present (green) he thought it would be better to tear the paper with his teeth than with his hands. What a funny kid!
Henry wants to thank his grandparents for the cool gifts! He plays with them all the time!
On his special day, we went to the St. Louis Zoo. It was a neat experience because other times that we've taken him to the zoo, he looks at the people more than the animals. But this time he actually looked at the animals and enjoyed them. He really liked big animals, like the rhino, elephants and giraffe.
Latter that night we went to the Great Forest Park Balloon Glow. It is where all the hot air balloons that will participate in the race are set up in the park and lit up. You can walk around and get right up close to hot air balloons.
I didn't take this picture but it's just so you get the idea.
We took these ones:
They were blowing them up on the lawn! We had our picnic dinner while we waited.
My sister, Jacie, was visiting us from Oregon!
Every few minutes, a loud horn would blow and all the hot air balloons would turn on their burners, which would light up the balloon. That way they would all glow at the same time and you can take pictures. When we were walking around, we weren't even that close to the burners and yet we could feel their heat. They are super hot!
