The Big Surprise 4-0!

Well we got him. When I asked him if he knew about the surprise he looked at me and said, "It's September 15th! Why would I think it would be for my birthday??" So the beauty of my, let's do the surprise a month early plan, worked! The day began with pouring down rain and we were all a little bummed. We had no idea what we were doing to begin with, and were pretty sure we weren't going to get any better with rain. But in the end the rain was a blessing in disguise. The rain kept all of the "regulars" off the field and it was just the 10 of us for the first few hours which was so much fun. I believe everyone had a much better time than they thought they would- including Marc since he thought he was going to shoot girlscouts not good friends. We even stayed after closing time so we could use up our ammo. After lunch a couple of young kids came. The amusing thing is they were as afraid of us as we were of them. They were nervous to play against us until we pointed out that we were bigger and slower than they were. We also let them choose one of our team members to be on their team and they chose Kelly because "she is Excellent". Unbeknownst to them she had only arrived 15 minutes earlier and had only played one round, but played it "excellently". We had a great day, ending in much re-hashing of the days exploits. Anyone else a little sore today?

A few choice shots.

at the end of the day, a little worse for the wear.
I will upload all of the pictures and put a link here to view them so check back tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who came yesterday and giving Marc a great day.
