Mother's Birthday, Robins' Birthday, Father's Day

On June 13th, Mother turned 86 years old.  A few of us got together for dinner and hugs.  We love you Mother.

Several weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Robin built a fancy nest on a downspout a mere 3 feet outside the Crow Family Room window. We've been watching the diligent parents sit on the eggs.

Presto ... babies are born.  Mom and Dad scurry around gathering bugs and worms. 

The babies grow super fast and now ... they are gone.  The nest is empty.  No more Robins at the Crow house.

Last weekend was Father's Day weekend.  Helen's work schedule was slammed so Jonas and I joined the Gs who were hanging out with SACII & Cheryl at their wonderful vacation condo on Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri.  The condo is super comfortable and the view from their deck is wonderful.

Donna, Anthony and Andy joined the fun too.

We toured Branson Landing, enjoyed a fancy dinner 

and breathtaking views on an excursion train,

shot some Zombies at The Castle of Chaos, rode go-carts (I'm the blur in front ... that's SACII behind me in the Hawaiian print shirt),

got Jonas a real Banana Split,

spent part of Father's Day on a boat

and got to spend some fun time with people we love.

Happy Mother's Birthday, Happy Robin's Birthday and Happy Father's Day.
