Happy Birthday, Papa!

We enjoyed celebrating my dad's, A.K.A. Papa's, birthday on Wednesday!
 He chose a grand-kid friendly agenda for the day:
We had dinner at the mall before riding on the carousel.
 This was Isaac's first carousel ride, and Papa loved being a part of it.
 The little guy had a pretty good time as well.  :)
 Clare and I made a Hope College birthday cake for Papa...
decorated with Busch Gardens' rollercoasters.

 I don't know who was most excited for the cake?!
This was last year's birthday celebration for Papa.
 Here's to MANY MORE happy and healthy birthday celebrations together!
We love you, Papa!
