Happy Birthday to Gramps

This summer we were lucky enough to get to have two different lake excursions.  The first was our fabulous week on the lake with the Bitler clan, the second was a morning on Lake Norman for Gramps's birthday celebration.  Gram decided to surprise him with a family get together, and he didn't even know that we were coming!  He arrived home from work on Friday night and the whole family was there-all of us and Uncle Reid and Aunt Candice too!  He had a delicious dinner, a fantastic cake, and even decorations in the dining room courtesy of the boys (with a little help from Gram).

After a lovely birthday celebration, we all were looking forward to our day on the water on Saturday.  We headed out early and arrived at the lake for a great morning.  Gram had made a delicious picnic spread.  So, we boated around, showing Gramps all the big houses that we had gotten him for his birthday.  Both boys had a little time driving the boat until Gram got a little too nervous and put a stop to all of the wreckless driving.  We docked for a little while on an island and gave everyone a chance to explore.  Then, we all ate a delicious spread while floating on the water.  it was a great morning.

Happy birthday, Gramps!
