Great Grandpa Jack turns 80!


On Saturday we traveled to Peoria for Grandpa Jack's (Shannon's Grandpa)80th surprise birthday party. We left Saturday morning and drove up for the day. We all loaded up in the car and made the trek. My mom and Arland were troopers since they had driven in on Friday. However, we all agreed that an 80th birthday only happens once and that we shouldn't miss it.

We got there a little early and patiently waited for Grandpa Jack to arrive. They had created a story in order to get him to the party location. Shannon's dad had the pleasure of bringing him there without him figuring it out. When they pulled up, he looked very surprised and very happy to see everyone. Most all of the family was there and many of his long-time friends as well.

We were very happy to be able to celebrate with him and hope he had a great day. I'm gonna include a picture of him with his great grandchildren.

I am getting red X'x where the pictures should be but we had a good time at Jack's birthday and was good to see Denny and Joy and to meet others in Shannons family also. We had a good time there.
