Celebrating Travis's B-day!!!


We decided to be adventurous & take trax up to the Gateway for dinner!

"Hot Wings".....their favorite!

Love & Chicken Wings!!!

Our waitress & the other waiters sang Happy B-day to Travis while making him stand on a chair & shake the tamborine!!! Travis kept it all PG rated!!!

The yummy dessert he got....we were all too full to eat it.....sad to say, it went to waste!!!

At the Bees game! They ended up winning after going into the 11th inning.

Travis, Betsy & Me.

We had the best time meeting up with Travis & Betsy. We don't get to spend an evening very often with them without kids. We ate at Tucano's until we were stuffed, rode the trax train (it's always an adventure), watched a drug deal get busted, watched a great game, laughed at 3 guys who gave the catcher a bad time, got annoyed with a loud mouth behind us who decided to welcome us with his presence around the 6th inning......moved the last couple of innings to get away from him & spare Travis the pain of the man's spit and beer breath, finished out the game & headed home!
Happy Birthday Travis.....WE LOVE YOU!!!

And we're done.....and leaving!!!!
Every Memorial Day the Bufton & Anderson families get together for a picnic. It's great to be related to both of them and have this day to catch up with everyone. All our families have grown, gotten bigger, or smaller depending on the ages of your kids.....but it's great to start the conversation where we had last left off. We missed the ones that couldn't be there this year.
