Great-Grandma Pooka's 90th Birthday Bash!

Today was a great day! We headed out to celebrate the 90th birthday for Pooka, my grandmother, the boys' great grandmother. The party was at a Bed and Breakfast in Ruskin (Yes, there are apparently Bed and Breakfast establishments in Ruskin - who knew?). It was very nice to visit with family, old friends and see Pooka enjoy her day as the center of attention. Here are some pictures from the party:

Pooka with all 9 of her Great-grandchildren. Please note that 6 children are smiling and 3 are not smiling... yep, those are the Darnell boys. They are looking at the crowd trying to get everyone to smile with the look of "why are you yelling at us?!?!?"

Standing tall - Wesley being held by Elizabeth
Sitting on the bench - Anne, Pooka, Rebecca, Ryan and Robert (standing)
Sitting in front of bench - Jared, Andrew and Laura

The Grandchildren - L-R - Ormend, Kellie (me), Pooka, Lance and Susan...
The boys rolled up in style. Pictured with Susan's trio - Rebecca, Ryan and Elizabeth...
Yes, after about an hour, I had to give in and let them out of the stroller (did I mention the party was around a pool?). Here is Wesley with Aunt Kim (his keeper for the day)...
Uncle Lance and Andrew; doesn't Andrew look thrilled. Did I mention is was over 90 degrees? My boys love air conditioning!
No party is complete without a Patsy Cline impersonator...
There was a room inside where we could all take in a little bit of the air conditioning. Here is Grandma and Jared sharing a moment while cooling off....
Grandpa and Wesley share a moment...
Andrew is having some fun with Aunt Kim while cooling off...
Something about this picture of Aunt Kim and Andrew makes me think I need to get outside a little more.... hmmmm....

We enjoyed the day but it was a long day for the boys. We tried to give them a little dinner before leaving the party but Jared and Wesley were too tired. Andrew, like Mikey, will eat anything anywhere.

Happy Birthday Pooka, we love you!

Take care,
