Happy 85th Birthday Grandpa!


Surprise!  

Sophie's first road trip: a Surprise Birthday Party for our Grandpa!  Celebrating 85 years for one wonderful man with many friends and family at the Ken Lake Resort.  It was so special.  I'm still blown away by all of the work that went in to planning and preparing for the event.  The food, the photo slide show, the cake, the time line, and all the additional photos, and even toast tributes to our Grandpa made for one memorable event.





There were 2 cakes!


Lucy gearing up to party...she was trying to be the show stealer all night.











MY personal favorite moments of the night were the speeches.  All three of Grandpa's kids spoke, but it was after Papa's speech that Lucy stood up front by the podium and shouted and clapped "Yay Papa!" after he was done which made everyone laugh.  It was SO cute!  Maybe she's not so shy after all.

Our first night in Kentucky we were treated to a wonderful stay with Aunt Kathy and Uncle Mark in their awesome finished basement...complete with wooden rocking horse.  Lucy was in heaven!  And I was just happy to finally see family.
Our second night we got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa now that the surprise was over.  I LOVE that both daughters have now gotten to go down and visit their house...it holds a special place in my heart after many summers spent down there.  I about died when Grandma pulled out some of the very same toys that I played with as a little girl.
