40th birthdays CAN be fun

I threw Patrick a surprise 40th birthday party for a few friends and family. He was adamant about NO parties. As a good wife I disregarded that and threw him an AWESOME party.
I arranged a scavenger hunt with about 300 items. We had 3 teams:
Jason, Patrick and Jeff
my mom, Lars, and Joe and Alysha
Michelle, Rob and Everett
This is "entire team on a slide":


"Entire team doing a handstand"

"Enttire team jumping, Feet must be off the ground"

"Entire team in a tree"

"Entire team on a teeter-totter"
(they even balanced)
"Entire team in a shower"



We had a great time!
Thank you Mom and Amber for all your help getting the house ready.
Thank you Michelle and Rob and Everett for driving all the way south for this.

Thank you to everyone who came.

It really means a lot to know you have such great family and friends.

Happy Birthday Patrick, we all love you.
