Happy Birthday to our Papa! He turns 90 today and is still going strong!  Yes, the big NINE – 0!

Papa is our Mom’s father and Milly’s husband!

 ^^ Here is Emily and Allison on one of their trips with Papa and Milly!  They would always go on adventures in their motor home.  Papa took us camping, taught us how to fish, took us on motorcycle rides and more!

^^And here is little Caroline with Papa!

^^ Papa was a Sailor in the Navy and Milly was in the Army when they met!  They got married and had 5 kids!

We love you, Papa!!  We wish we could be there to celebrate with you!  Hope you have a fun day full of love and cake!

P.S. You don’t look a day over 60!  We hope we got those genes!

After our walk this morning with cute little Ivy and our mom, we went on a breakfast date with our dad to Downyflake Doughnuts. Downyflake has always been one of our favorite breakfast places on the island, partly because it feels like a quintessential diner and partly because it has the best blueberry pancakes…even Paula Deen thinks so! But, it’s not just their pancakes that are delicious. We love their omelets and bacon and of course their donuts. I mean anyone who offers a side of a donut instead of toast wins in our book. We used to always ride our bikes down to get a box of donuts with Steve and his sister Samantha when we were little kids. It was our favorite then and our favorite now.

^^As you can tell by their faces, we had very important decisions to make! Do we get the pancakes or the omelets or the donuts or all of the above???

We love you, Downyflake! If you ever find yourself on Nantucket, this place is a must!
