Happy 90th Grandpa Herd!

Last weekend the entire Herd side of the family celebrated Grandpa Herd's 90th birthday in Alabama at Kay & Elliott's house.

This was a special weekend because EVERYONE was there, which was really awesome. Relatives from Texas, Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, & North Carolina all were able to be there to celebrate. Grandma & Grandpa Herd really enjoyed seeing all of the family together. I could tell that they didn't want the night of the birthday party to end & that the time of everyone together was a happy memory for them.


The 6 of us Rhodes' flew with Grandma & Grandpa Herd on an airplane to Alabama, which I can say was a definite experience in the large DFW airport. The biggest hangup that we experienced was in the Birmingham airport on the way home. The security guy was giving Grandma Herd problems because her drivers license had expired in 1999 & she had no other form of identification. Somehow Billy & Paula were able to talk with them to get that figured out. It's crazy the stuff we all go through in airports these days.


Here is a group pic of the entire family in Kay's backyard. We gave this pic to Grandpa Herd in a special frame.

Happy B-day, Grandpa Herd! We love you!
