Breakfast with the boys again at the Chicken Coop and then a walk around Balboa Island
Dinner at the Legion. We ran into Allison who went to the prom with Terry back in high school. The next day we go back to the walk around Balboa Island (Little Island) with Bev and Joe this time. It's a great walk.
It's been a great couple of weeks. March through the middle of April we have had the opportunity to see all 7 of our great grandkids. Deagan (12), Rilynn (6), Carter (5), Justin (5), Wyatt (4), Miller (3) and Raegan (2)
Family time before we leave for Florida
Birthday dinner for Justin. (36 years) Justin and Kaylin got flowers for Ali and Nechia. Nechia was sick.
Kaylin's Aunt, Kaylin, Justin, Dan, Pat, and Ali. Doesn't Justin look like Jesus. Plus both start with a "J"
We fly to Florida and hook up with our good friends Debra and Randy in Tampa. Freezer Bag Omelets. Yeah.
Then a trip over to Clearwater and St. Petersburg and then to Saint Pete's Pier. Super fun day.
We leave the Wagners and head back to Orlando and do the Disney thing. The 1st day we did Disney Springs, then went to the Boardwalk and then the Skyliner for sunset and the the EPCOT fireworks show. Great Day.

Joanne has a wonderful dinner: Pat, Cary, Ed, Ali, Joanne, Gladys, and Rusty
So the first thing Pat did on his birthday was get up and run "8" miles, do 80 push-ups and 80 sit-ups. Below is a view from the bench on his run where he got to ponder on all the things he done over 80 years. Plus , on the way home he ran into this really big guy. Anyway, I was proud that I could do all those things.
Happy 80th Birthday to a really old guy.

Received a lot of great birthday cards that were wonderful. But the best one was from my daughter Tammy.
