John's Birthday

John Curtiss celebrated his 13th birthday on October 9, 2009. Trenton and I were blessed to have everyone still here for his birthday! The following pictures are parts of John's presents and the way that we celebrated his 13 years of life!
We ate lunch at Pei's and then Trenton and I told them we were going somewhere else. So we were on I-380 and we had previously made a big deal about the joke of the day that Nesper's Signs does daily. So we were trying to see what the joke of the day was and Mama was reading it out loud and it said Happy Birthday John Curtiss! It was a surprise for everyone! And they really enjoyed it! John's face lit up! In the picture below you can see part of it in the sign behind John Curtiss!
After that we went to Planet X and spent a few hours playing bumper cars, laser tag, mini-golf, space bikes, arcade games and rock climbing!
Here are a few pictures from indoor Mini-Golf
There were space bikes. You were strapped down in these "bikes" and pedaled and went around in circles. It sounds alot easier than it really was!

After Planet X we came home and ate dinner and did John's favorite pumpkin pie with candles!

Part of John's present were some Zots--hard candies that have a filling that fizzle in your mouth. Here is Sarah trying to show us the inside of her mouth with a Zot.
Here is Mama with a Zot in her mouth!

The next day was the day that Mama, JC, John Curtiss, and Sarah left to head back to TN. We had an amazing time with them while they were here and can't wait for them to come back! You never know what to expect when the family gets together! :)
