Happy Birthday Gramps!

Yesterday (Nov 1st) was my Gramp's birthday! But not only did we get to celebrate with him, but Grandma came down into town too! Grammy, Gramps, Grandma, Mom, Dad, Daphne and I all went out to Outback Steakhouse for his birthday dinner, and ironically walked in the door the same time as our next door neighbors! Must have been an Outback kind of night. After we all ate too much, (note the sarcasm there as I begged and begged and no one gave me any Blooming Onion!), we came back home to eat some of Gramps traditional birthday cake - Cherry Nut Cake. Then Aunt Kathy and Uncle John came up to join in the "Wii" festivities. Dad gave Mom a Wii for Christmas, but couldn't wait until Christmas to give it to her. So Uncle John challened Gramps to a bowling match! Guess who won....


Here some play by play.... Uncle John chooses his ball, then tosses the ball down the lane. Ooooh! He split it! On his second throw, he puts on some mad spin and gets the spare!!
But then comes Gramps. Beware Uncle John - Gramps swings and tosses the ball down the lane ......STRIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gramps ended up winning by four pins (points?). Guess we'll never know if Uncle John let him win since it was his birthday, or if Gramps is really better...
