SURPRISE!

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY DORTHELLA!

Dorthella, (Tom's mother) celebrated her 80th birthday on the 2nd of May.  All of Tom's brothers returned home to help wish her a happy day.  We were not able to make it because we were in Dominica with Krista and Josh.  So we decided to fly out and surprise her.

Boy was it a surprise!  

When she walked through the door she about dropped her packages.

We started the celebration with dinner at Corona Villa which is a Mexican restaurant.  Mark (Tom's brother) and Linda were able to join us.  It was a hopping place.  A tornado went through Laramie the night before. Many of the businesses and homes were without power so this place was crowded.

Rhaegan loved the chips and salsa!

After dinner we went back to the hotel so Rhaegan could swim.  

She showed us how she can blow blubbles,

how she could jump off the side to her daddy,

and loved the hot tub with mom and dad.

The night couldn't end before we played a game of Rummy-Down with Opa and Oma Cupps. We all gathered at the hotel and played until we were all about to drop.  Tom and I had been up since 3:00 am eastern time, so by 10:00 mountain time we were pretty tired.

Tomorrow will be another big day, of course golf is in the plans.  We just hope the course has re-opened since the tornado went right through it.

Stay tune for more adventures.
