Grandpa Bob Turns 80!

Mom, Dad and Ethan took a quick trip to Milwaukee yesterday for Great Grandpa Bob's 80th Birthday Party. Great Grandma Betty shares the same birthday, and turned 79 this year, but she ended up in the hospital due to a minor heart attack so wasn't able to celebrate with us. However, knowing those crazy Gonwas, the party must go on . . . . We celebrated at Grandpa's favorite restaurant. Due to Grandma's hospital visit, the "surprise" element of the party was eliminated, but Grandpa had a wonderful time with the family . . . .

Here is Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandpa celebrating.
We had fun seeing Uncle Tom and Aunt Lit and it was their first time meeting Ethan. Here, Daddy and Uncle Tom are talking baseball . . .
Here is Aunt Carol, Ethan, Auntie Mimi, and Cousin Leah. Leah and Ethan are enjoying playing with their spoons . . .
Although the rest of the family rented pontoon boats after the party, we decided to head home since we were all pretty tired and wanted the entire day today (Sunday) to rest up for the rest of the week. Ethan did a great job riding in the car for 8 hours all in one day. Today we are all enjoying a day of rest!
