Great Grandma is 92

We (Mom, Kristi, her friend Cris, Uncle Kelly, Aunt Kathy, Great Grandma and I) had a wonderful stay at the cabin over the Labor Day weekend celebrating Great Grandma's 92ND birthday. We had a tasty lunch on Jackson Lake (at our favorite place on the Lake; Moran Bay), ate dinner at the Lodge when the power went out at the cabin (and over a four state area but because the Lodge has a generator they had power), watched the bears along Pacific Creek three different times, viewed a fun movie and just sat around and talked while we watched it rain. I think all of us had as much fun on this trip as any of us ever had. It was SOOOOOO relaxing! Here are a few pictures so you can enjoy it vicariously.
Showing off the cake/cobbler with it's fancy candles ... we learned a long time ago not to put that many individual candles on the cake ... they turn into a bonfire! To say Great Grandma had a good time and was very happy would be an understatement! She blew out both candles so her wish will come true ... what was the wish? You can't tell or it won't come true!
Here's the gang ... Kriti's friend took the picture. As you can see a coat was much appreciated as the heat of summer came to an end over the weekend. Notice Mom's fancy new "HAT".

6th shirt

OK this should have been the easiest one to earn but it hurt the most! It might have been because it happened the week after the spudman. I was so sore I had to skip a Tri I had planed for the weekend. Every year the local baseball team lets us have a game night we get a shirt and play a game with the other sponsors. I went 3 for 3 batting scored from 1st base on a double and most important went 4 for 4 from the snack bar. The food was free also. Matthew got to be a bat boy for the game. It is always a great night gives you a greater appreciation for what the ballplayers do

4th shirt

4th shirt 1st Tri. Just a sprint 1200 ft swim/12 Mile bike/ 3.3 mile Run (OK more of a walk) It was slow I had not even taken a stroke swimming so I was the last one to get in the watter. It felt good to do even if I was slow always good to finish. Now I need to start losing some weight for the Spud! http://www.wannabeehospitality.com/triath/trailblazer.html
