Birthday dinner

With Kim and Micah in San Francisco and Matt juggling his summer research/work schedule in Champaign, 2014 was not going to feature the traditional mid-August Holland child birthday dinner. Still, we did have a chance to get to Pops & K's house on a weekend afternoon while Matt was there for a few hours. We played baseball, ate grilled food and blew out birthday candles. After Matt left we took boys two through four to the neighborhood park to burn off a little steam.
