LANDON'S BIG ADVENTURE

Geeg and Pop thought they were beginning a new tradtion a couple of year's ago; taking our grandsons out for their birthday when they turned 3. We had a wonderful time with Miles that year, and took him out last year as well.

Unfortunately, we didn't think this new tradition through; we don't plan to be here in January when Landon turns 3. Oh, oh.

Landon was recently perusing some family pictures and saw evidence of our celebrations with just Miles. He wanted to know when it was his turn. Geeg and Pop fretted over this for a while, then realized we don't need no stinkin' birthday to celebrate with our boys!

So, with Julie's permission, we planned on taking each of they boys out, individually, for no other reason than we love them. (Awwww.)

Controversey immediately erupted when we tried to decide who to take first. Miles solved the dilemma by deciding that he didn't want to go out with us. Okay, we'll go out with Landon first. (Miles has since changed his mind and is already asking us to set a date for his big night out.)

Wednesday night we fought the wind and cold, and headed for Brickhouse. Landon, the classic second child, was casual; not dressed to the nines as Miles had been for his first night out with

G & P. No matter, he was cute as a button.

Dinner started out with a toast to our favorite second grandson.

Scintilating conversation followed.

Yada, yada, yada......Wine and milk, pizza and grinders, a charming little boy. Ice cream for dessert. What a man, what a man; what a mighty fine man. Thanks, Landon, for a wonderful evening.
