Our Trip to California - Happy Birthday Grandpa Sondergaard!

Surprise! We surprised Paul's Dad for his 80th birthday and spent a few very special days together! We arrived during the Wednesday night service. It is a blessing to have a Dad who faithfully loves and serves the Lord.

A happy Dad and Grandpa! We love you!
A fun surprise!

There is nothing like being together!

Holding two grandchildren who grow up too fast!

We love you Grandpa!
 
The next day at Howarth Park a park Paul liked to go to when he was little

Having a special talk with Grandma
We visited the dairy Paul's Dad grew up on. It is at the end of Sondergaard Road

Nathan loved all the animals. There were at least nine dogs over 140 cows!

Waiting their turn!

Nathan found a friend


The calf was as curious as he was!

Ruthanne enjoyed holding Baby Deborah!
