The Celebration

About two weeks ago, our entire family traveled to Green Bay to celebrate my Grandma's 80th birthday. Almost everyone was there (we missed you Em and Jason...and especially YOU Miss Bea!!!). Here is a quick documentation of the sweet celebration...

We started out the celebration at Bay Beach, an amusement park in Green Bay that cost only a quarter per rides. The papparazzi were out in FULL force!





After the ride Collie teased that she was going to have an "Elizabeth-shaped bruise" on her side. I tell you what, The Scrambler + me = zero fun for my seatmate! Sorry, Col...I had a blast though!




Max and his Uncka Dave.




All the participating family members lined up together for a race. It was all fun and games - until somebody cheated at the starting line!







My family all together...it doesn't happen all that often so we took advantage of the moment and the beautiful lake backdrop!



We ventured back to Kate and Mike's for lunch and the celebration. Here's a shot of the dessert table...before they broke out the ice cream that is!!!



She wears them...she actually wears them!!!



One of the three tables of people celebrating Grandma's birthday.



Blowing out a few candles...


A champagne toast to a lovely Grandma!



One last shot before we hit the road back to Minnie.



We had a great (whirlwind) trip. It was so special to celebrate such an amazing birthday with so many of our family members.

Don't forget everybody...Fence in 2010!!!!
