Aug Birthday party Jeff 65 yr Aug 12, 2015

Notice the cake, (rice crispy bars) have a 65 candle since it was Jeffs 65th.  We all love rice crispy bars. 

Every August we get together with our friends for the August Annual Birthday Party.  Some times the party is at a park, sometimes in the hills and sometimes like this time it was in someones yard, our yard.  You see, out of this group of friends, there are 3 who share Aug 12th Birthday.  Then there are 4 more who have birthdays within 2 weeks of that date.       

 We had planned to make s'mors on the fire pit latter in the evening but it got very windy so we had to do without the fire.  We really didn't mind since it had been 100 degrees earlier in the day,  I was glad it had cooled down to about 90 by picnic time.  

We enjoyed having Ryan, Leslie and their 2 lovely children here from Colorado.  We always enjoy spending time with them when they come to visit our friends, Nancy and Jim. 

 Leslie did get the candles lite for just a second before the wind blew them out. 

 Rich had his trusty cigarette lighter and also gave it a try.  After we sang Happy Birthday (below)  Rich lite his lighter so Jeff could blow it out. 
 YEA, good job guys.  When there is a will, there is a way.  

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to You,
 Happy Birthday dear Jeff,
God Bless you today. 

  

 We all enjoyed the company, visiting, 
food and warm windy evening.  

 
This is another way to enjoy a Jump Rope.  Play horse and run real fast.  Below they even got their grandma Nancy to join in the (play horse) fun.

A lot of giggles!

We had a fun treasure hunt with everyone picking a folded paper from the hat that had the clue, some in rhyme to help them find their treasure.   Above is sweet Claire posing with 3 of the treasures she acquired.  We all enjoyed the hunt but the 2 children enjoyed it the most, I think they could have played treasure hunt all evening.  

 This Dr Duck was another treasure that I happened to find the next morning sitting on my frog by the garden pond. (I'm thinking Jim had something to do with this stunt). The treasures weren't great or worth much but a lot of fun.

Some one thought it would be cute to change
 the numbers for a younger age!
I wonder who might have done this?   ?    ?

We all realize that every year is a blessing from God and He has our life planned out.
 We ask Him to guide and protect us and to use us according to His will.
