Grandpa's 60th Birthday!

We went to the cottage for the weekend as it was my dad's 60th birthday. It was Maura's birthday the day after his, as it always is of course, but was not as monumental as the big 6-0. Amanda, James, and Mary Jo were there for the "festivities" as well.
I posted this picture as you can see the small yellow sign on the left. It said "CAUTION: 60 year old having a senior moment". Maura put this on my dad's chair in the morning while he was out fishing. Paige and Rose were having trouble sharing a spot to watch "Megamind" on the iPad, so Mike set it up simultaneously on the iPad and the Macbook at opposite ends of the couch. After a while Rose started banging on the Macbook keyboard, so the girls had to switch...then Paige complained that she only liked the iPad.

Paige helped Maura bake the birthday Blackberry/Raspberry pie that my Dad wanted in lieu of birthday cake.

The problem with birthday pie is that the candles do not stand up in it and have to be kept in original packaging.

Maybe Grandpa wished for better weather on the next birthday. It was cold and rainy...The following day, Maura's birthday, we unfortunately had to go home after lunch and miss the ice cream cake which was was being assembled in this picture. Rose was trying to get in on the action.
