Week of Surprises

1st surprise:  Daryl had a big surprise planned for our family last weekend.  He gathered us all together and told us to pack our bags for two nights/with swim suit equipped.  Evelyn was thrilled--she got her little bag out and started packing.  She also became a very helpful 4 year old by helping me with anything I asked of her.  We got in the car and drove a couple hours and stopped for dinner.  At dinner he told us we were going to Triple Play which is an indoor water park that also has bowling/rock climbing/miniature golf/laser tag/arcade attached to it.  The hotel we stayed at was also attached to the water park.  It was not a huge water park but big enough for Evelyn and Jane to have a lot of fun.  Evelyn's favorite activity was going down the huge water slides on tubes with Mom and Dad.  She thought it was funny that I screamed going down the slides. 

2nd surprise:  After we got home from our surprise trip, I had planned a surprise 30th Birthday for Daryl along with the help of his family.  Daryl's brother Ryan was in charge of getting Daryl out of our house so all the party guests could arrive.  The younger cousins were the lookout for Ryan's truck once they spotted it we hid behind the couch with the lights turned off.  When Daryl walked in we all yelled surprise!  He was surprised but wondering who was all there in the living room with the lights turned off.  Once we turned the light switch back on he was happy to see all his family.  Daryl's Mom made THREE cakes one for each decade along with 30 candles.  We ate pizza for dinner and had a nice night.  Surprises Surprises.
