Grandpa's Surprise Birthday Party






Back in April, Sally had a surprise birthday party for my Grandpa! He turned 85 years young! My Grandpa had no idea that we (Bryan, Lisa, and Brynn made the trip too) were coming home for this...esp. since he didn't even know there was a party! Funny story...we were at my parent's house waiting to go down to the condo, and the telephone rang. Not thinking, I answered it! Just my luck, it was my GRANDPA!!!! He was calling to check in on my mom b/c she had been sick all week. When I answered and realized it was him, I totally tried to play it off as I was my mom. It didn't work out so well, but still my Grandpa didn't know why we were home and didn't seem too thrown off that my mom said, "well, we'll see you later!!!" Talk about bloopers! Needless to say, when he came down to the party room and saw that we were ALL there, he was very surprised and happy! Then the phone call made sense! :) The kids had a blast playing in the exercise room! Kate loved the treadmill! Zach was working on his abs! Kate had no nap all day long and did really well! She crashed on the way home!
