Party Time

The weekend has been cool and cloudy with misty rain.  But, today for a while it cleared and the sun almost tried to shine.  It did however clear long enough for us to celebrate

Zachary’s 9th birthday.

Zachary Zachary's 9th Birthday 067

is grandchild number 3. 

He loves baseball, so he chose to have his party at the

baseball field.   We had

hotdogs, nachos, peanuts, and cracker jacks.  After eating, we

played a little family baseball.  That is Alex, Zachary’s cousin on first.

Even

Caden and

Kourtney got into the action.

Andrew

did a little coaching from the dugout, while I was the official photographer.

After the game, it was time for cake, ice cream, and

presents.  Zachary got a lot great stuff…but the best present he ask for was

dog and cat food to donate to the local pet shelter.  Way to go Zachary!

Next on the party agenda was the piñata.  But, first,

Poppa had to help Aunt Bobbi up to find the nail to hang it on.  Once

it was hung, it was time to

start swinging the bat.  Caden took a good swing,

while Kourtney needed a little help from dad.

said, let me take a swing at that thing.

Elizabeth

just wants somebody to hurry and break it so

all the candy will hurry and fall!

Caden

was pretty excited about his cup of candy.

Kourtney

was pretty precise about filling her cup.

This concluded the planned activities for the afternoon and all that was left was for the cleanup crew to come in.

Wow, Zachary what a great birthday party!  I am so glad Poppa and I got to share it with you.

Again….Happy Birthday and we love you.
