Here is a video of Jacob being locked out of the car, and then dancing to get the door unlocked.

Jared here filling in for Kimmy. I decided to highjack the blog for a night. I'm sure I'll forget an item or two that happened today but I'll do my best. Did the traditional Sat. morning with donuts and drinks. Today Vikki's (Kimmy's twin sister) work (Delphi) was having a family fun day. Tours and then a picnic with rides and activities. So we headed that direction after picking up the donuts etc. Did I mention it was raining... we'll it rained the entire time. Got a little wet at the picnic. Vikki, Rody, Mykenzie, Myself, Kimmy, Jacob and Adam all went and had a wonderful time. There were a few tents set up to get out of the rain. One of the activities under one of the tents, thank goodness they had tents, was air brush tattoos. So Vikki, Mykenzie and I all decided to get them. I got a gecko on my arm and the girls both got stars. The gecko was by far the coolest of the air brush tattos...they're suppose to last about 7 days max. I had the gecko air brushed onto my right forarm... it was really cool looking. We also made dog tag like necklaces, assembly line style, which was also fun. The day at the family fair was a total blast even though we got soaked, actually that was part of the fun I guess. The boys went on the merry-go-round Kimmy and I went along so they wouldn't fall off the horses. On the way out we stopped and got some cotton candy... I don't know if you've ever tried to eat cotton candy in the rain, but let me tell you it's a bit of a challenge. It's kind of like trying to eat ice cream while standing on the sun. Well I got a few bites in before it became a total mess. I was laughing. So we hopped in the car, changed the boys into some dry close and headed home. We decided to stop at Tim Horton's on the way. I dropped kimmy off at the door so she could go in and use the bathroom and I went through the drive through to pick up her cappucino and meet her on the other side. Did I mention the air brush tatto on my right forearm yet... well it was pretty cool looking blue's and greens and some black feet. I crusied around to the drive up window and paid the money and the young girl all of 19 years old maybe at the drive through said "Nice tatto"... I was just about to tell her it was a fake and go into the story, but instead decided to play "Joe Cool" and just say "Thanks" in my most macho cool voice I could manage. I thought that would be the end of it but she continued with "wow I really like those colors, very nice" I again had a 5 second lapse where I was going to spill the geek story but instead once again said 'Thanks" in a yet more macho cool voice. I pulled away and into a parking space and was laughing so hard I was just about in tears and Jacob was constantly asking "What's so funny Daddy".... The tatto has slowly worn away and is not nearly as vibrant as I was hopping. I wanted to freak the guys out at work, but I'm not sure that will happen now. It sure was fun. It was suppose to last 3 to 7 days, but I don't think I"ll get even one out of mine. Oh well... it sure was fun while it lasted. Let's see what else happened today... did I mentioned it rained... still is. The hot air balloon festival got rained out. We went down anyway just to see what was going on and there was a Reining Horse competition going on. They can make those horses do some amainzing things. We watched for a bit and then decided to walk around Target. Oh I forgot to mention early this morning when we were waiting in line at Tim Horton's (the first time) I had mentioned something about the line moving slowly and jacob blurted out from the back seat "honk your horn " Funny kid. Ok I'm running out of things to say. I better turn this back over to Kimmy. Bye.
