Grandpa Turns 70!

Huge birthday bash for the old man - Over fifty people at the house - and still there was food leftover! LOTS of family and old friends there to help him celebrate. The brothers played a lot of lawn darts. Andrew won money, mostly at the Hillbilly (Ladder) Golf game. Denny's lawn-dart injury from the night/early-morning before (punctured foot, swollen), and David's still swollen finger (bicycle vs parked car) gave them excuses, but they narrowly avoided losing big to John and I in the lawn-dart game.

I took some photos of the grandkid group with my iPhone, but nothing worth sharing here. I'm hoping someone with a more substantial camera got a better shot, but it appears the distracted nature of the subjects is the issue. Below is a photo of Mali destroying the piñata fish on her first swing.

Mary brought the piñata, along with other activities for the kids. Mali spent most of the party carrying Cooper around. He was a maniac at the party, but it could have been lack of sleep and/or sugar intake contributing to that. Dalton and Conner spent most of their time playing with the new lawn beanbag game. Rylin was grumpy, but I finally got her to acknowledge my existence by allowing her to chase me around the yard.
