Guys 40th birthday

Last Saturday we celebrated Guys 40th birthday in a hanger at the airfield where he keeps his plane. an unusual venue that proved very popular with the guests. The other unusual feature was that we had lots of kids along with the adults, since many of Guys friends and coworkers have families with small children. Here are a few pictures from the big event. we start with Phil giving his speech about the terrific person Guy has grown to be. Guy looks like the kid that got sent to the corner of the school room. at least he is smiling!

How many parties have you been to recently that featured a neat toy box like this. This was also a great attraction for the smaller kids. That's Luc in the middle, and his cousin Alton on the left.

The Center of Attraction at the Party

Guys plane was parked right outside the hanger and proved to be the center of attraction for both kids and adults. He spent much of the afternoon helping people in and out of the plane.

Guys Birthday - celebrating 40!

On Saturday we celebrated Guys 40th birthday. A bit of an unusual celebration and venue. Since many of Guy and Joahnnas friends and coworkers have small children, the party included lots of children (about 20 of them) along with around 40 or so adults. Here you can see that Guy had lots of helpers making sure he blew all of the candles out.

Entertainment in Santa Clara

On Tuesday we left Naples to drive north to Guys house in Santa Clara. grandson Luc is now crawling and exploring everything within reach. One thing within reach are African drums that Guy has and Luc knows what to do with them. Here he is providing us our evening entertainment.
