Grandpa Alleman (Great-Grandpa to the kiddos) recently turned 85. Grandma said, "Don't bring anything. Just come and draw on our driveway." Eric and Beth were thrilled with this, and we have some real artistic types in the family. Here are some of their offerings.
This is Eric and CJ and Megan's boy, Alastor, playing with Great-Grandpa's cannon."I can't see anything in here! Light a match!"
Here, Beth picked some flowers for Great-Grandpa.
After the art show, we retired to Aunt Kris's place for sandwiches, then an "over the hill" cake and some ice cream. It was loads of fun, and a great opportunity to celebrate Grandpa.
