The boys, of course, were having a great time in the pool and enjoying the warm sunshine. It was a pleasant change from the cold, snowy, winter weather in the Chicago area:
All of us enjoyed a visit on the patio before going to dinner:
The restaurant that was selected for Patty's birthday dinner was one that was an Italian restaurant (Oregano's) in Cave Creek. We traveled there in three vehicles and arrived at around 5:30 PM to discover that there were - no parking spaces available and a 2 1/2 hour wait for seating for dinner. That was not expected for a Monday night. Brian and Amy made a couple phone calls and it was decided that we would change the dinner location to a nice Mexican restaurant - El Encantado Dos - that only had an hour waiting time. Actually, we arrived there and immediately found seating in the lounge area and were able to get service right away. It was a terrific dinner and we had the hostess take this photo of the group as we were leaving:
There were 14 of us which made for a nice (mini) family reunion.
Following dinner, we all returned to Brian and Amy's for some birthday cake. It was a perfect ending to a fun day.
Here is a shot of Patty's birthday cake:

Debby is flying home this morning and Josie goes back to work but we still have some fun activities planned so stay tuned...
