September Fun


Couldn't resist putting up these pictures of our little outing to Willow Park one Sunday afternoon in September. It was so fun with Scott and Olivia interested in all the birds and especially the fish! What a relaxing way to spend a Sunday.






























And then, of course, we had to celebrate another birthday. Can you guess whose it was by the blaze of candles on the cake? Carl couldn't find enough candles to cover the cake....Texas sheet cake with German chocolate frosting! Then he made a delicious dinner...my favorite Bar-B-Q ribs, garden potatoes, corn on the cob, and a yummy spinach & strawberry salad that Michele brought. As far as birthdays go, it was as good as it gets for getting older than dirt.




And then there's Olivia...the entertainment for the party....a rendition of "If You Chance to See a Frown." Can you tell which picture is the frown and which one is the smile??? Gotta love her!
