Are you 1? Cha- cha- cha! Are you 2? Cha- cha-cha! ... Are you 30?

Happy Birthday Dad!

What is a celebration to Bob without a new bobble head?


Samantha is ready to party!

Minding our own business

Pointing out favorite landmarks

Thwarted!

This weekend Bob turned 30! The morning started off nicely, with donuts and the repair of a light courtesy of his parents. He opened his presents from the kids and I – a football jersey, painted cup from Matthew, and bobble head to add to his collection (the bane of my existence). In the afternoon we hit the road to Providence, an evening and night of endless possibilities ahead of us. Our greatest concern was that we packed too much stuff for a short trip. We planned to meet his brother for dinner and were debating whether we wanted to go to a basketball or hockey game afterwards when Bob said something like, “Can you see if my gas pedal fell off?” This was not the time to investigate as we were slowing down and in the middle of a busy and crowded highway. He pulled over to the right side of the road without incident. After a quick diagnostic test of turning the car on and off it was confirmed the gas pedal was no longer functioning. AAA towed the car to the nearest repair shop (closed until Monday) and Mike came to drive us home. We will always remember this birthday as the time his car tried to murder us!
