Grandpa Mark's Retirement Party

Matt's dad, otherwise known as grandpa Mark, has retired!  There is a tradition in the family that when someone retires we all get together, wear goofy shirts, eat a lot of food, and burn any work clothes that the retired person may have.  Wendy has the perfect yard for a party so we headed over there for some fun.


We brought the t-ball set with us

Wendy's neighbors have horses we were allowed to pet and feed carrots to.

Caleb made a new friend

Casey had this huge pool to himself  for a good portion of the day. 

Caleb joined him for a bit 

Trying out the flippers...


and some goggles.

Joshie wanted to swim with daddy too!  I think he thought his brothers looked a bit silly in their goggles.

The highlight of the day for Matt and I was playing  the   beanbag toss game with grandpa Mark and Buppa.  We must  have played at least 8-10 games.

I thought this round was pretty cool.  It's no fun when your points cancel one another out!

Mort took everyone for a ride in his cool golf cart after the shirt burning ceremony.


The kids went home really tired!


Happy retirement Grandpa Mark!
