Months ahead we had planned to surprise Shar for her 70th birthday. We never thought that we would be able to keep it a surprise, but somehow we did! We set up the party at Merle and Teresa on July 1st; her exact day of her birthday. Loren picked her up in the corvette to "make her feel special" and controlled her arrival time. It was perfect!
Uncle Rog and his band were the entertainment and were fantastic! They played the oldies and the kids danced all night and played the cowbell
Happy Birthday was played by the grandkids on kazoos
We took the kids to the Pipestone Monument in Pipestone, MN the day following the party.
The 4th of July was quiet as we were still tired from the fun party in Holland. We did some fireworks on the driveway and a little sunset fishing in Bloomington
Taylor and Carter have both learned to enjoy kite flying!
