Mike's 41st Birthday Bash!
We started out the evening (Saturday night) with dinner at Red Lobster. I am making him a home cooked meal tonight for his real b.day. We are having grilled swordfish,smashed potatoes, asparagus, and broccoli slaw.A few photos before dinner arrives. As we were paying (part with a gift card) Mike told the girls to pet the lobster on the gift card. I guess the waitress thought that was cute because she brought a live lobster over to the table and Paige got to pet it. Megan and I missed out because we had run to the restroom...and I had the camera in my handbag so no photos either. Now Megan is going to want to go to Red Lobster for her b.day so she can pet a lobster....plus she loves their popcorn shrimp!
Megan and her friend Mr.Lobster
Back home and it's time to open the gifts! Paige and Megan instructed him to open THE BIG ONE first....it's a "memory foam" pillow.
It's not a birthday until we have a shot of Rowdy's butt in the pictures!
I gave Mike an OH fishing license now he won't have any excuses to not go fishing. I put it in a book "Freshwater Fishing Tips & Techniques" by Gene Kugach. It's a pretty cool little book with lots of good tips.
I also gave him the "Rapala Tournament Fishing" game for the Wii. That way he can practice fishing from the sofa. It's pretty cool he can fish in Minnesota (the fishing capitol of the world), Florida, California (Sacramento River for Stripers and Silver Salmon), Alaska (Kenai River and Half-Moon Lake), Texas, Arkansas, and New York (Niagra River). He can even fish outside of the U.S. in the Amazon, Finland, Mongolia and Africa. He fished for over 2 hours last night. The kids were cheering him on and giving him advice.
The girls made their dad handmade cards, they are getting so good at stamping. Paige's card was from her and Rebel, of course.
The card Megan made say's "DAD you rock!" on the front.
Paige and Megan got their dad some of his favorite Girl Scout cookies and "Game Party" for the Wii. It has darts, table hockey, skill ball, hoop shoot, ping cup, shuffle board and trivia. Looks like they are all pretty thrilled with the cookies...even Rebel is checking them out.

That a great present to practice fishing on the Wii so he could fish for real (or reel) on the Kenai River.
