Jonathan's week long birthday celebration

So Jonathan's birthday was the 20th of July and we did a few things. We were supposed to go to Worcester to celebrate with Dad, Judi and the kids. Well we all were not feeling well. Melissa just got home from having gall bladder surgery, Judi had kidney stones removed (yikes, don't ever ask how they do that!), Dad was under the weather and Jonathan had just gotten over a stomach bug. So we decided to postpone that shindig. We were going to take all the kids - Mary, Renee, Christopher and Jonathan - to Canobie Lake Park but the sky didn't look so good and we collectively decided an indoor activity was a better idea. So off to Weirs Beach to the Fun Spot. On the way we stopped for lunch at the 99 restaurant. Then we went to the Fun Spot it was so packed that we needed to wait for over an hour to bowl - that was what Jonathan wanted to do there. After we spent tons of money we stopped by Granny and Gramps house for a quick visit and to get free dinner - LOL don't tell them - if they ask we stopped just cuz we love them. We drove home from there in the pouring rain and lightning storm. The sky was lighting up like it was day time. On the 26th we had Jonathan's party. It was great - hot but great. Auntie Karyn, Madelyn and Megan were here first - yup FIRST. They were 30 minutes early for the party but they were technically 24 hours late for the pre-party prep. LOL The rest of the guests arrived - they were (in no particular order) Auntie Sa, Granny, Gramps, John, Michelle, Jacklin, Kailey, Nicole, Baby Justin, Neena, Uncle Bill, Renee, and Uncle Mike. We ate deli meats, calzones, macaroni salad, potato salad, pasta salad and a green salad, chips and cake with hoodsies (thanks Neena). The day was good and Jonathan got awesome gifts.
