My sisters and I flew into Dunedin to surprise my mom for her 70th Birthday. Our cousin Danny was in on the surprise too. I'm still in shock that my dad kept the secret from mom for 2 months. The look on mom's face was priceless... I will never forget it! She just stared at us trying to figure out if she was dreaming, then the tears started to roll. We made a video for her, like we did for my dad's 70th. Dawn and her (almost) son-in-law, Greg, did most of the work. It took mom through memory lane from her childhood to the present (gulp, tear, sniff). The weekend was full of good food, good wine, lots of laughter, and a few tears.
While all the sisters were out of town, the husbands planned a fun weekend for the kids. Jay took Jonathan to Ohio to visit his grandmother and Ray took Will and Maggie to visit their uncle and cousins. Keith and the girls hung around here and did lots of fun stuff. He took them to Chuckee Cheeses, to see the movie Turbo, and to riding lessons... The boys and their gals came over one night and they all grilled out and built a fire in the fire pit. Keith took the girls for golf cart rides, and played board games with them... whew, I'm tired just thinking about it! This was Emma's first time away from me, so Keith kept things moving. I feel so lucky. Our guys are the best dad's in the world!
