This was years in the planning. I knew that when Luke turned 30 I really wanted to have a surprise party for him, but when it came down to it, I wasn't sure if it would actually work. Everyone is so busy all the time. But I got the word out a month in advance and so most of the family members were able to make it.
As for the logistics of getting Luke out of the house and then to the park was a bit trickier. I planned on him just going to a gun range or something for an hour or two and then he would show up right on time. But it so happened, this particular Saturday was the opening day of the grouse hunt and his dad wanted him to go with him.
That was prefect-- he left Friday night and hunted all morning....... I just told him he had to make sure to shower before leaving Castle Dale and that he had to be home by 4:00 because I had plans for him. The catch came when it worked better to drop off the mountain on our side and come straight home. YIKES! I didn't really want him walking in on his birthday party straight home from hunting. Luckily he got home in plenty of time to get cleaned up. He just gave me a really strange look when I told him "Okay, bye! You're family will bring you to where you need to be when you're showered!" Meanwhile the rest of us gathered at the nearby park and waited. And drooled over the cupcakes!
Those that didn't know we were celebrating for Tianna too wondered why in the world there were half crown cupcakes! haha.
Thank you everyone who made this day special for him. Turning 30 was much less painful with all his loved ones there to support him :)
The kids got good and soaked really quickly!
After the party we went out to eat pizza with some of the Peacock's and our friend's, Blake and Chantel Merrell. The Merrells were unable to be at the party but it was very kind of them to come join us and finish off a great day of celebrating!
