Big Birthday Weekend

My mom will celebrate her 85th birthday later this month. For a number of years, she asked for the same birthday present...of all her family together in the same place at the same time. We did just that last weekend.

Her three children, all ten of her grandchildren and fourteen of her fifteen great grandchildren met at Story Book Land in Wylie Park in Aberdeen for an afternoon and evening of fun. It was a wonderful weekend for everyone.

It was a little bit like herding cats

Six great grands are between 5 and 2

Story Book Land is an AWESOME place

to take young children

This was the last time most of these families

were seen together until 4:00, 

almost 3 hours later.

Miss W LOVED everything,

wanted to DO everything

and did it all with pure joy.
