Overdue summer post

We are long overdue for a blog entry, so we'll split it into two different parts. First, we missed an important birthday - Amy! Ben even managed to secure a proper cake and everything.

Then Ben took the girls out to Ohio for a fun long weekend. It was great to see Grandma Gerber in Indiana.

We had a little get together in Berkey for Ida's birthday. Here's the boys catching up on the porch.

A table full of cousins!

There was an amazing Wonder Woman cake, as requested.

After the cake!

Here's Granddad and Grandmama with their great-grandkids!

We were sorry to say goodbye, but it was a great visit.

Back in Boston, the party began again. Like last year, we went bowling. Unlike last year, we bowled candlepin style - for those not familiar, the balls are smaller and more manageable.

A room full of good friends.

Cake!

And finally a nice pic from our hike up in the Blue Hills.
