This past June Kress threw a delightful party for her dear hubby in honor of his 24 birthday, {Happy birthday, dear Michael!} at Reed Bingham Park. We had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed being together out on the lake!! Three cheers for Michael Jr. and a jolly party!!!

Pavilion detail...Right before supper we three girls went out on the lake for a quick canoe ride~It started storming while we we out there, and the lightening just over the bank was beautiful!! The park ranger made us get off the lake, however, but not before we were able to have a jolly time, and get some pictures of our adventure!!

It looks as if you had a really fun day and a lovely celebration! Happy Birthday Michael!

Yes, your grandmother does look very British in that photo - it must be the hat! Our boys call their grandmother 'Nanny' or 'Nana', but 'Grandma' is quite widely used too. Their grandfather is 'Grand Dad' now that they both can pronounce it - for the longest time he was known as 'Dad Dad'!

Adeline,

Do you have a good shot of Michael doing his, "hang upside down by the toes," thing?
