A Birthday Weekend

Last weekend Dad and Brenda came up to celebrate Dad's birthday (Friday). They stayed in a cabin just down the road from us and it was really nice. We had such a great time visiting, eating, and relaxing together.

We had dinner at our house Thursday night and then Friday morning went to go visit with Pa Pa and B. The cabin has a hot tub on the back deck and the children were thoroughly enthralled. We didn't have our bathing suits so I let them put their hands in with the promise we would get in it Saturday night when we grilled out there.

They were OK with that.

Cade loved it!
Pa Pa and B have a new dog that they got at the end of May. Her name is "Pepper" and she is of the Havanese breed. She's quite cute and playful and loves playing with empty plastic bottles. Cade was celebrating getting this one from her.

Friday night we celebrated Dad's birthday with a great summer meal and coconut pie for dessert (his favorite). The kids enjoyed "helping" him blow out the candles.

Saturday we ate brunch together and then went down to the cabin to grill out hamburgers after naps. Of course, we got in the hot tub and I didn't get any pictures of that because Drew had a show to play that night and it was busy with 3 in the hot tub and Dad letting Cade dip his feet in. We topped that dinner off by roasting S'mores...oh the memories!

Upon getting PJ's on and loading the car, this was the scene I saw at one point.
