2 Boy Birthday Bash in Indy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CADE, 5 AND KASEN, 3


The first weekend in June has become the annual 2 Boy Birthday Bash in Indy to  celebrate Cade and Kasen's birthdays.  With both sides of the families converging in Indy it is always a FUN filled weekend.  Wow - 5 and 3 years old already!  Our precious grandsons are growing up.
I made the trip with the Kahlers (daughter Melissa and family) as Don is at the Olympic Training Center selecting and training the new U16 USA National Team that will depart to compete in Uruguay in another week.  School is still in session for Scott and Landon so this would be a quick weekend.  We started out Friday at 5:30 and arrived at midnight in Indy.

Saturday morning started with lots of hugs all around for everyone.  The cousins Landon, 7 and Owen, 4 were excited to see Cade and Kasen and the weekend of PLAY started.
The morning plans were foiled a bit due to the weather but the big boys, daddies and grandpa Dave did get in golfing later in the afternoon.  It was the first time out for Cade and Landon, each with their own new golf clubs.  Daddies did not take photos so none to post.

After a morning of playing we enjoyed a delicious lunch complete with the birthday cake!  And then presents to be opened.  Such fun.  

The Kahlers dressed for the traditional photo booth.

My BOYS!

Fun inside.....

My favorite little boys in the whole world!

Off to the park to play and to use up some energy before the
trip back to Iowa.

Owen slipped and bumped his chin so off to the
urgent care!

We continued to play at the park while Owen was
getting stitched up.

2 stitches later Owen returns!

What a fun filled weekend.  Owen on the ride home to Iowa.
