Grandpa turns 90!

It's high time I posted about the privilege we had last weekend of going to Fort Benton for Grandpa's 90th birthday. What an amazing milestone!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

It was a long afternoon for Grandpa, but they had a cozy chair set up for him to relax in. It was a memorable moment when Sarah thought it looked like a pretty good spot to curl up too. She asked for her blanket and climbed up onto his lap, looking pretty pleased with herself.

I snapped this photo before she was fast asleep. It reminds me of another photo when Grandpa was a fair bit younger...

Now who could that little girl be?

Many of the tribe of Benjamins were able to come for the occasion, but we missed those who couldn't make it. We enjoyed the trip and a several days afterward with Kerin, Brenna, and Molly.

Abby sure misses her playmate (Molly)! And Sarah misses hers (dog Gracie)!
