HaPpY 80th GrAnDpA GeNe!

The weekend of June 25th we had a birthday celebration for Grandpa Gene's 80th birthday. We had it at Bart and Tracy's house and the weather was perfect to party in the backyard! We ate Papa Murphy's pizza, homemade ice cream and yummy brownies and cookies.
Poor grandpa got bombarded with pictures but he was a good sport. Sharley saved the day by bringing the bounce house for the kiddos to play on! We watched the dvd I had put together for grandpa - that thing had given me fits but everyone enjoyed it eventhough the music was messed up.
I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful grandpa! He has been such an example of a hardworking, dedicated, loving man. I have fond memories growing up and living so close to him - after Grandma Dolores passed away I remember having sleepovers with grandpa to keep him company. We loved going swimming at Saratoga and going down the big white slide. Family bbq's, homemade ice cream, horses, easter egg hunts, christmas parties, old boxing stories, and the list could go on... I love you Grandpa!
