Happy 70th Birthday Martha!

Our friend Martha was turning 70 on October 6th which is the same birthday as my sister Michelle and also my new niece Paisly Hope. On the 5th after church we were all going to go out and celebrate her day a day early. Martha is always thinking of others. She is also one of the most generous people we know. Well, they were babysitting their 3 grandkids so she thought it would be a great idea to head to the world's largest McDonald's for an afternoon of fun!

Martha with her daughter Brenda. Her son Nathan was out of town on a ministry trip with his wife Kathleen.
The kids were so excited to be able to hangout and have a ball playing all the fun games at this playplace. Martha and Nathan blessed all the kids with money cards so they all got busy and started playing.

Lisa had GREAT luck at this machine.The tickets kept flowing out . .. it was like a flood!"Hey, I want some tickets too!"

After about 3 hours of fun and food it was time to head to the prize center.
