Grandma's Birthday

Happy Birthday Mom (aka grandma!). Today grandma got to call all the shots about what we did in Sitka, and Dad and Brett even got to come with us!

Harry's 1950's style soda shop was an extra special treat!the girls got chocolate milkshakes and I had my first banana split in years.

Later, on the way home, we got to stop and check out "Whale Park" {there were three whales each of the girls claimed as 'theirs'. Jessa demonstrates how effortless it is for a cowgirl to ride whales}
{kate running hard, stops for a breather}{the many stairs of Whale Park lead us to a cool spot to time-out and tidepool}
{i heart tidepooling}

Then we came home and baked grandma a birthday cake with the mmmmm so good frosting.
