Happy Birthday, Marty!

Marty flew home on his birthday so we faked him out and told him we would pick him up curbside after he picked up his bags.  Instead, we parked, walked in and were waiting for him at baggage claim with this sign.  Very fun!
 Josie worked hard on his watermelon birthday cake and the sign we brought to the airport.
 Happy Birthday, Marty!!
 After we enjoyed lunch and birthday cake we headed out to the raspberry farm to pick some berries.  YUMMMY!  They are so fresh and tasty.
 After about an hour we had 25 pounds of berries!
 And after all that hard labor we decided to go to one of our favorite Chinese restaurants for birthday dinner.  The kids are all over Indian food.  In fact, it is their favorite meal when we go out.  They hadn't tried Chinese food though.  I was SO proud of them.  Marty and I ordered what we normally order and just hoped they would find something they liked.  Neither of them were too sure at first but they both found enough to eat and even really liked it.  Yay for adventurous eaters.  They even brought us some yummy mango sorbet with a candle in it for Marty's birthday.
 Benjamin and ALL 25 pounds of berries.
With all of those berries I just had to use Oma's recipe to make delicious raspberry jam. 
Of course we just ate a bunch too.
