happy happy day

Yesterday was a big and a happy day. Toyota's summer family picnic was held at Dave and Busters. I thought it was a great idea -- air conditioned fun at a place that is fun for adults and kids alike. Our kids were totally excited for several days before -- Sawyer woke up on Friday thinking it was Saturday and was disappointed that he had to wait another day for the fun.

We arrived at around 1130 and enjoyed some average food for lunch. Then the fun began. We spent the next two and a half hours enjoying video games, trivia games, skee ball and choosing crap prizes. The gun games weren't as asked for/popular with the boys as I might have thought -- they were very hooked on Deal or No Deal, as was Andy. I was enjoying the trivia game, of course, and won the boys many tickets while answering questions about history, curiosities, music and more.

{This is a new face Harrison makes. BIG smile with squinted shut eyes. Super cute and full of personality!}

{All of the noise was the perfect lullaby for a nap!}

The minute we walked in the door I had to prepare for my friend Staci's surprise 40th birthday party! She was really surprised and I think she really enjoyed hanging out with friends from Horsethief, Orange County and family!

Happy birthday to my dear friend!
