Happy Birthday Joe!

I have been a little slack about the blog lately because I was at a continuing education meeting in Asheville.  I was able to spend some time with Emily and Keiran.  I learned a new board game, Wingspan.  Very fitting for two professional birders.  And  Carol came over for dinner one evening and enjoyed an episode of The Great British Baking Show.

But I had to get back for Joe’s birthday. 

Mike and Virginia had us over for steak last night.  No cake, but you can tell how good the ice cream was by Allie’s face.

Sadie also got messy licking the bowl.

Then mama took us out for the traditional birthday lunch.  Joe picked The Mason Jar.  I highly recommend  it.

Sadie and Allie enjoyed all of the extra adult attention. 

Afterwards we came back home to fire pit but it started raining so I baked a chocolate cake instead. So Joe  got his birthday cake after all.
