Turning 55

Another birthday!  They come around so fast now.  So here's mine and I will say... I enjoyed it!   




No I didn't get a new car for my birthday.   I've had this one for 8 years and she reached her 10th birthday this year- 2005-2015 and another milestone 200.000 miles!   Here's the story... A few weeks ago I was parked at One Stop and when I came out there was a card on my windshield from a car detailer in Bar Harbor.   I set the card on my console and forgot about it.  Greg and I switched cars for a trip and just 3 days before my birthday, still trying to come up with a gift idea, Greg glanced down at the card and bingo!   He surprised me with a complete car detailing job -  new again!  I loved it inside and out~






So on to the celebration.  I was born on May 31st which this year was a rainy Sunday so we planned a full day of fun for the 30th- a beautiful sunny Saturday!  I decided that I wanted a simple small family birthday doing fun things with people I love- those are the best kind! 


Greg, Stephen and I started off the day with a round of golf at NEH and even rented the new electric golf carts.  Always enjoy golf with my golfing buddies~





Then it was on to little golf at Pirate's Cove!
First time Pirate Adventure for the Barrett Family










It was a Girls vs. Boys match~~




On the girl's team   Annie, Sunshine, Anna, Bo and Lola

and for the boys...



Stephen, Greg, Jason, Kai and Koa


                             Let the games begin...












and the champion of the match-  Stephen who went home with the trophy and a win for the boy's team-   everyone had a blast! 

Especially Lola and Bo on the cannon water blaster! 



Birthday part three- back to the house for food, fire and fun! 


Chocolate cake with real lilac's made by Sunshine!  (not the lilac's, the cake)



Rosalie's Pizza-  my favorite with Sunshine's famous salsa!  
Birthday's do not get any better than this! 




A great fire in the back yard with s'more's, soccer and a game of bear.

But the best part of the birthday of course was spending the day with people I love. 












Thanks to everyone for making #55 a special one!
