60 + (3x4)
Went to my Dad's 60th birthday party, up at my folk's place in Clearview (N of Woodinville). My grandma and her partner Don were there, along with my sister and her husband. Then my aunt Ellen and uncle Jim, my Dad's old Navy buddy Charlie & his wife Lorraine, and my parent's adopted grandkids and their two Moms showed up. A nice big crowd. The grandkids are triplets - Liam, Darby, and Ellie - and just about to turn 4 years old. Last time I saw them we all went to the zoo together and had a blast. Now they're talking A LOT (particularly Liam) and much more autonomous. My Mom got some bubble wands and bubble guns and the kids had a blast. Liam and I worked together using a screwdriver to open the bubble gun, put in the batteries, and close it back up. He's a bright kid. I really enjoy playing with them. Their Mom's kept asking when Dan & I were gonna get some of our own... and joking that we could borrow one of theirs anytime we want. I imagine 3 at once is a lot to handle.
The party was a lot of fun. I was a little hungry when I left, cuz there wasn't any vegetarian main dish option (just friedn chicken), but I had enough melon and corn and potato salad to tide me over.
