Our Grand Daughter's 1st Birthday Celebration at ELijah Clark State Park

After just a little bit of planning we enjoyed a fantastic family birthday celebration on Saturday. The theme was Hawaiian complete with hula skirts, leis (a real flower lei for the birthday girl), swim in the lake, shark shaped watermelon with Swedish gummy fish swimming in blue jello, flip flop cookies, a low country boil, birthday cake, bubble stuff, balloons, sidewalk chalk, water pistols, beach balls, corn hole, and a great loving family to boot. A good time was had by all. Billy and I awoke on Sunday morning sore from head to toe from walking up and down these GA hills. We will cherish the memory of the fun we all enjoyed for a long time. Jackson skyped us last night just as we had picked up the phone to contact him. It was great to be able to "sit at the kitchen table" with him as he ate his dinner last night, and we ate cantelope along with him. Can't wait for his visit in just one month! Be careful what you wish for because we are socked in with rain. No problem, with new Paula Deen recipes in hand I went to Bell's grocery store yesterday and bought produce to make some down home country dishes! So sit back and enjoy a few pictures with us.
