Grandpa Bowen

My Sweet, Strong Grandpa--so dashing.
This past weekend my cousins and I went on a road trip to Malad, Idaho to help celebrate Grandpa Bowen's 90th Birthday.  It was so great to spend hours in the car visiting with some of my very best friends.  The drive was enjoyable and went by very quickly.  There is nothing like being in Malad.  It is almost as if time stops when you drive into the city limits.

Can you imagine all us girls together in a vehicle for 14 hours?

G&G Bowen, two of my favorite people.
The party was held at the community center and it seemed like the whole town turned out.  They all know grandpa, whether from his school bus days, years as a mail carrier or his service as a volunteer fireman.  He is a fixture in the community.  It was also nice to see all the extended family I get to see so rarely.  Great Aunts and Uncles, distant and not so distant cousins--
