To Pennsylvania & back....

We flew to PA on the 9th and threw a suprise 50th birthday party for my mother on the 12th. It was completely awesome. Everything about the trip was awesome...& that's odd. The little ones traveled VERY well...and it was Kay's first plane ride. My whole family & Annette & allison helped so much & we all worked well together to pull off the suprise. Mom was actually suprised. No one knew if she had any idea or not but she really didn't & she was so humbled but all of it. She had a really great time & she deserved every single thing and/or compliment that she got. We threw her off track by going out to dinner on the actual day of her birthday and then we went out to see my Dad's band play so she thought that was the celebration. It was just really great to be with friends & family. Parting is such sweet sorrow.
