Birthdays

Last Friday was my birthday! We went up the road to Applebee's with Robin and Shawn. Applebee's has some great cocktails. I had a Jamaican one...

Robin had a martini...

and Shawn had something very pretty!

Then Llew, Robin and I went out to play put-put. Very fun. I got a hole in one and Llew won.



And we enjoyed the garden gnomes!!!

Last Wednesday was Shanna's birthday. We had a cake...

and champagne. Very bubbly!

Because her birthday was on a Wednesday, it was only small, but Shanna had had a larger party on the weekend before. We learnt a few new skills like a game called "washers", very similar to "corn hole" which is extremely popular around here. Washers seems to take much skill, and we don't know if it is helped or hindered by beer!


And then there is beer ping-pong where a ping-pong ball is bounced and attempted to get into cups of beer at the other end. If the throw is successful, the opponent drinks the beer. Hence the losers get more and more sloshed and that advantages the winner more and more!

So that's the story of birthdays and nearby celebrations.
