So, for Shelly's birthday, we wanted to do something different. Something we hadn't done before. It's August. We've had a good year for rain. It seemed like a great day to spend some time on a lake. So, we went to a nearby reservoir, rented a paddle board, and played on the beach. It was a lot of fun!

Shelly requested fruit pizza for her treat this year. It was delicious, thanks to Mel's Kitchen Cafe!
We love you, Shelly. Happy 35th birthday!
