TRIPLE BIRTHDAY


Almost all the kids, spouses, and grandkids were present for a triple birthday party at our house this weekend.  We greatly missed the Californians who couldn’t make the trip.

  The weather was perfect for filling the pool and water balloons.

 Even after he was dried off and dressed 
JD was ready to bring out the big guns for the big guys.

 We had our own version of Olympic volleyball and badminton.

 Going for the gold.  No holding back here.


There were also skits.

Some skilled clapping games.

And what's a party without dancing.

 The complete lack of breezes made it possible to 
light the candles outside—first for the ten-year-old.

 Then a pink cake and singing for the eleven-year-old.

 The big numbers were brought out for Grandpa.

 Then we cut the cake…

 …and brought out the hand-cranked homemade ice cream.
 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

That's cool! A three-for-one special! The very first photo made me laugh! He means business! My dad used to make homemade ice cream. I haven't had any in years.

There is nothing in the world better than a pink and a chocolate birthday cake, unless of course, there might be the promise of hand cranked home made ice cream!!!! This post is killing me. Now the squash for dinner does not even look edible. I only want cake.
I LOVE to play badmitten...I play like the ones who got the boot...
