Here is the Birthday Boy blowing out the candles on his cake. I bought numbered candles so he only had to blow out two candles and not 79. When I asked him if he could blow these out, he said he could do it from across the room. We didn't challenge him to try it for real, but he sure blew these 2 candles out in one quick puff. I don't know why his face came out splotchy in this picture, but it really wasn't.
We had an extra-large cake for the amount of people that were there, but when I saw this cake, I had to have it. It's hard to tell in the picture but it has frosting on top that looks like a fire and then there are smore's on the corners and marshmellows on sticks (pretzels) that are sprinked with cinnamon so they look cooked. The minute I saw it, I couldn't help but think of all the camping we did as kids and I just had to have this cake.
When I told dad that Sarah had sent him a birthday wish via Facebook, he said that if she comes to visit within the next 6 months she can have some cake. Okay, so there was a LOT of cake, but I don't think it will still be around for THAT long.
Jef called while we were there so we also got to visit with him.
Before we left, Dad informed us that next year he turns 80 and then he will be old and crotchety, though I can't imagine anyone as funny as he is becoming crotchety.
