I think I was just getting over the pickle craving and then you put that picture on there. I think our 60 dollar dinner was so worth those pickles. If you look at the table where dad is sitting there is a pickle left over, how on earth did I miss that one? Oh and then the cake. I just want to eat those balloons off the cake. Oh no wonder I have gained so much weight. Last but not least if you look at the last picture of dad it looks like he really enjoyed himself.
Looks like you guys had so much fun! Glad you finally updated!
