Weekend before last the
dh and I drove to Texas for a surprise birthday party being held for a longtime friend of his. When we got into town on Friday we met up with the
dh's brother and family for dinner at the Olive Garden. The nieces are familiar with this restaurant, during the wait for a table they spent their time looking for interesting rocks
outside the building.
They brought their interesting finds for us to enjoy. The
dh also likes to look for shapes in rocks so he really appreciates this skill.
The older niece found a rock with REAL personality. I told her that if she ever got tired of it we we be glad to give it a good home.
On Saturday we drove about 30 minutes from out hotel to the location of the party. The children of the couple had set this all up. It was even more a surprise for the father since his birthday is in November.
My
dh was part of the surprise, they hadn't expected us to drive down. Back when they were in High School my
dh had introduced the couple to each other, so everything since has been 'his fault'.
All the children were having a great time with the balloons. Then the
dh showed them that if they tied one of the
helium balloon strings to one of the
balloons on the floor they had a balloon that would float just far enough off the floor to punch around. Next thing the
dh knew he had all sorts of children wanting him to fix them up.
It was a GREAT weekend with friends and family!
