Happy Birthday Samantha

Last year we were in Michigan on Samantha's birthday, and this year it's the case again.  We don't get to be around my side of the family, all of us, that often, so it's kind of nice to be able to share this special day with them.  Today we planned on going boating, but the weather wasn't compliant...so we bowled.  And Sammy loved it!  I plan on making a simple cake, maybe we'll make it down to the beach, and there will be a big "5" birthday candle to blow out.  I think it's a pretty perfect day, rain and all.
