Chris Martin is 58...

Friday we had the actual birthday party for me- one day early!  We start with KC and his family coming over...

Mr Wiggles here grabbed a handful of birthday cake all on his own...

Mr Wiggles took this shot!

Later Shenan and Soybean came over for the adult beverage section of the proceedings...

And now, I know you're dying to know what toys I got....

First, that contraption above is Laurie's catapult.  I teased her about aiming at me, and Peanut.  Result?  Two strikes at my empty chair and one direct hit on Peanut, which drew a "Really?" look from little man...

I got one glass from Laurie and the other from Peanut and Wiggles...

A Beer Advocate Rastau Teku glass- toted as the 'best beer glass design', and logoed in platinum...

And "Papa Shark needs a drink, do-do-do..."

The rest got me this neat beer cap map!  As you can see, that aforementioned "adult beverage portion of the proceedings" has it off to a good start!

Meanwhile, here are some pics from the last couple days...

Two different sets of Duck babies...

Ground hog spying us from a distance...

Ukky looking Thursday...

This is where mama duck was hanging out the other day when Dad watched the ducklings...

Like I said, ukky....

...and of course, we HAD to get rained on!
