Of all the

Birthday Cards Grandpa got, this was the funniest. Reg cracked up when he read it and so did I.

Grandkids

Avery

and

Audrey hit super sized soft golf balls with giant foam clubs to their Papa and Uncle Rowan at the grassy park in Grandpa and Grandma's subdivision. Grandpa and Great Uncle Van sat at the picnic table and cheered them on, while Papa and Uncle Rowan ran for the golf balls. Because we have had an unusual spring for Mesa - with lot's of rain and cooler weather - there is still green grass in the park. Usually by the start of May it's all dried up. The weather this day was so unusually perfect for the month of June. Breezy and cool with nice afternoon shade.

4 year old Avery gets bundled up like a cocoon after swimming in the pool at Grandpa's 65th birthday party.

The week before the party the pool was 88 degree's, Finally! But for a couple of days before the party the weather got cooler, below 100,then below 95, and the pool got cooler too, only 84. Just a tad bit too cool for us AZ folks. ! Janet and Van from Colorado laughed at me when I said the water is too cold at 84. They are happy when their public pool in Cortez is 75 degrees! Burrrrr. Janet even went swimming in the early morning here.

The kids all loved the "FOG" feature Grandpa has build into the pool. Plus they all love the fountain jets too. Audrey had a squirt gun fight with Uncle Reggie.
