I threw a surprise party for Chris a week before his birthday--pretty sneaky since he wasn't expecting anything so early! Anyway, it was a field day of his very own. We set up some lanes in our back yard, grilled some burgers, and had folks sign up for the event (or events) of their choice. The options were (get ready for some memories...): the 3-legged dash, standing broad jump, water balloon toss, gunny sack race (or trash bag in this case), and the 30 yard dash. It was so much fun. Chris' friend Kyle (red shirt) was the MC and made Chris laugh all night long. We could not have pulled it off with some of our new favorite people, Martin and Kate. Martin helped lure Chris away with a plan to go fishing and Kate and I were at the house "making dinner." It was a beautiful day and so fun to be with so many of our good friends.
Happy Birthday Chris!

His favorite--chocolate zuchinni cake! Thank you Terry!
He loves me.
I think he had a great time and he was definitely surpised.
