To Be a Kid Again

Well, we pulled it off!  Mike was completely surprised for his 30th birthday and he had so much fun!  On Saturday the 5th after Mike got out of work, I convinced him that Jon was babysitting and we were going on a double date with Cam & Sarah. I had to use this story, because I knew that as soon as we started driving to Maine Indoor Karting, he would figure out where we were going.  But, he was NOT expecting other friends and family to be waiting there for him.  

It really was a lot of fun and so easy for me.  MIK took care of the drinks, pizza, cake, racing and mini golf.  The guests provided pictures, banners, appetizers and a nice warm welcome in the parking lot.  Those participating in the racing went through some safety training, and it was very entertaining watching them get into their suits.

Great entertainment...

The package included an 8 minute qualifier to decide how the real competition would begin.  Then after a brief intermission/appetizer break they were back out on the track for a final 8 minute race.

Afterwards we enjoyed some social time, food and mini-golf.  

We enjoyed some delicious cake!

And had a mini photo booth set up...

If when given the chance Mike will be right back out on the track.  Here's to the next 30 years!  Happy Birthday!

Vacation Update

     April vacation was very low key and relaxing.  It started off with a dinner date with Sarah and Cam and then Mike headed to NY to visit Kelly for the weekend.  On Monday, I headed north to spend some time in Hampden with Mom, Ashlea and Eva.  Then I had a few lunch dates through out the week and ended vacation celebrating Easter with family!  The week went by way too fast - and I am sure the rest of the school year will go by just as quickly!
