Mike came home with a lot of fish stories and the fish to prove it. The freezer is filled just waiting for mom to fire up the grill to cook them. This was Lisa's first time up north and she had a ball going to see all the sights and the bingo halls with grand ma. It only took her six hours to fill us in on what she did and saw. It would be enough to fill a whole page of this paper but I wouldn't do that to you. While they were gone, Jami stayed overnight at aunt Cathy and uncle John Koschers with Annette, Scott and Joey. On Cathy's bir thday, the sixteenth, they spent the day at an amusement park. Everyone came back to the Cominsky house that evening for cake and ice cream and I passed my flu germs to all of them, which was very unap preciated. WHAT A BIRTHDAY! Bobby Gacek had four candles to blow out on his gigantic birthday cake at a party that was held in his honor on a recent Sunday afternoon. Family and friends started arriving atv noon for an afternoon of fun and surprises. First guest to arrive was Alysia Bush, followed closely by Dawn Muscarello with daughter Daniella, who thoroughly enjoyed swim ming with mom. God mothers Adrianne and Patricia Mydlowski with mom, Virginia, spent the afternoon soaking up the sun and working on their tans, but after awhile the temp ting water coaxed them and Gary into a splash party.

Grandfather Bob DeSilva and great uncle Stanley Wrona arrived just in lime to see a large green "Windsong Acres" from ihe Gacek's of Crystal Lake pull up and take all the kids plus a few parents for seventeen ice cream cones at the drive- through in lown. On the bus was ihe most charming clown loaded down with a horn and balloons and a few refreshing water balloons. All this was generously provded by greal uncle Edward and aunt Jeanette who returned the kids home lo find a large "Moonwalk Bouncer" on the front lawn. At first a few kids thought that Heinz with kids, April, Audra, Tommy, Annette and guest Laurie had quite a bit of wind to blow lhat house up, but were later informed differently. There were loads of laughter as Bob and Michelle Nystrom with neighbors Kim, Vallerie an Tricia Parisio enjoyed bouncing with John, An toinette, Bobby, and all the olher kids. Dad a^d mom, John and Sharon were glad lhat all the guests enjoyed the sailing, food, boat rides, water fun and all the extra fun-filled activities thai were a pleasant surprise for all. When asked what he thought about his fourth birthday party, Bobby could only reply with a greal big "Wow!"
