Grandma Karen's birthday celebration

On Saturday, we all went over to Bainbridge Island for my mom's birthday. Instead of just a quiet birthday at home, we first went to Town and Country's 50th Birthday celebration. They were having a big barbecue down at the waterfront with games for the kids and great music. We all decided to go there first, and go home for cake later. The kids had an absolute great time dancing to all the music and playing games. Later, when the kids were royally spent, we all went home and did cake and gifts. My mom said it was the best way to spend a birthday. They had great music and a man walking around dancing on stilts. The kids got a kick out of it. Noah thought the big party was for Grandma, and we couldn't tell him otherwise. We had a great time.

Sophia is up and walking around thinking that she is in charge of the world.

Jacob finally understands that it is hard to be a parent of a small toddler. He loves his cousin sophia and is very protective of her.

They had a big candy hunt in the hay for 5 year olds and under and the kids just raked it in. We always joke that on Bainbridge, they give away large candy bars, and this was certainly the case today.



Grandma and Noah had a great time dancing together today.




Mom had a great time with a four year old on each hand, dancing to the music. What a work out.






Jacob finally worked off all the sugar from the candy bars he grabbed. They could have played like this for hours. All you need is a hula hoop at home when the kids get bored.
We had another one of those great summer days where the kids come home exhausted and fall into bed at 9:30. We weren't too far behind either. Happy Birthday Grandma.
