Definitely a milestone - Jon's 80th birthday!

 We had a wonderful weekend and it was action packed which included some things that definitely didn't go as planned, but we worked it out.  Beginning with the Sunset Fire which fortunately for us only brought it a lot of smoke.     We had scheduled Saturday as the morning to go out on Seagull Charters to fish, but luckily for us, it was pouring rain that morning.  Wasn't the rain fantastic!  

Captain Tyler Long was flexible with the date and we were able to change the fishing day to Sunday morning.  They had the best time out on the Seagull and caught fish!


DIL Julie baked a Hummingbird Cake for Jon and created this hummingbird feeder  cake.  It was spectacular!  Jon loved all of it!  Julie missed the trip over here with a bad case of vertigo.  Vertigo and travel, along with going out on the boat, just don't go well together.  We missed her.






Ben's second fish catch!  



 








Both JP and Jon caught some nice Rainbow Trout.  It was a beautiful day to be on the lake.


I have never used Clipchamp before so the video is a little iffy, but it's a video.   Even the hummingbirds circling the cake were edible.  I thought they were too pretty to eat.


We ate great food and even managed a few hands of poker in the evening.  Jon is looking forward to whatever the 80th year brings!

Happy Birthday!
