Early Birthday Party for the Grandkids

We had been watching the development of Hurricane IKE for the past several days. Aunt Deanne had come home from Little Rock for a birthday party on Saturday of this week. Matthew is going to be four on September 16, and Aubrey will be three on September 12.

On Wednesday morning, the hurricane was forecast to make a direct hit on Victoria, so we made the decision to board up the house and get out of town in the Bus. We also decided that on Wednesday night, we would do an abbreviated birthday party so Aunt Deanne could give them her presents, and then head back to home in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Here are some pictures of the event:
