A Birthday Bash to Remember

Yesterday was Addie Mae’s eighteenth birthday!

Today was Grant’s nineteenth birthday!

It has been a FUN weekend!

After Addie got home from work yesterday, we celebrated her with a meal of her choice! Which I do not have one photo of! I KNOW! But I was rocking a very sleepy grandbaby during that meal – important stuff!

We enjoyed fish, a baked potato bar, pan roasted Brussels sprouts, and a big salad.

Just imagine all that yumminess in pictures!

Today after church, we celebrated Grant with a meal of his choice!

There has been a lot of eating going on around here!

We enjoyed steak, shrimp, asparagus wrapped in bacon, fruit salad, and Mexican pasta salad. Yum again!

And some candles and singing!

We quickly did dishes and then the REAL fun began!

Some dear friends invited us over for an adventure at sunset.

We were SO excited!

We got to ride tandem on a paramotor!!

YES – even I took a ride!!

And had the time of my life!!

I took my big camera and forgot ALL about it. So I stole everyone’s cell phone photos! SO glad to have these photos! They really do not do justice to how high we would fly though! Or how exhilarating it was when Ethan would stop the engine and we would just glide with the wing! We were on top of the world!!

Grant was up first since it is his birthday!
