Grant's Birthday weekend in Stratford-upon-Avon


Having a drink by the canal Grant's second birthday dinner at our favorite seafood restaurant in Stratford.
Then off to The Royal Shakespear Company, to see the very fitting
'The WINTER'S Tale'

Grant turns 30!!!!

We celebrated Grant's 30th for a week. Started with decorations and a birthday breakfast, then after Grant opened his presents, we went to the Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant, forgot to take pictures, but the cook tried to toss a fried egg into Grant's mouth as a bday gesture.
All Grant's Bday cards.
On Thursday we had big Deep Fried Food night and watched American Idol!!
Chicken Wings for the Birthday boy!
Just having a bit of Birthday cake on Friday, after Grant's day of scuba diving
