Summer Birthdays 2012





Our fun weekend began Friday afternoon when Amanda, Peyton and Garrison arrived for a couple of days! Grammaw Mintun had already arrived with chocolate pudding for dessert - we all enjoyed taco salads for dinner before an evening of play.
Saturday morning the 6 of us headed to the Lake of the Ozarks to Mark and Mary's condo for a summer birthday celebration - a fish fry!  Aunt Mary had prepared a delicious meal topped off with a chocolate mousse cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory (yum).  After happy birthday was sung, Grandpa, Grammy, Amanda, Peyton and Garrison headed to the pool for some fun in the water.  Visiting followed before we loaded up the van to motor back to Clinton.  It was a great family day.  Cousin Tom was there as well and enjoyed celebrating his birthday a little early.  We missed Joe who was working in St. Louis.

Sunday was a relaxing day with Grammaw coming over early and staying for lunch.  Everything from arts and crafts to polishing toenails (Grammy's were quite beautiful that Peyton polished) to dancing (Grammaw and Peyton) while Amanda played the piano - it was a great day.  Garrison really enjoyed Grammy's green bean casserole while Peyton preferred the corn-on-the cob with the new holders from Aunt Mary!

Mary sent tomatoes and peppers back to Clinton to be made into salsa which was accomplished Sunday afternoon - yummy!

Not much else happening - a great family weekend full of precious memories.
