Happy 70th Birthday George!

Scott's mom planned a surprise birthday for his Dad.  She asked all the kids to come in and surprise his dad.  It was so fun.

Scott and I flew in Friday afternoon.  He got upgraded to first class so I could sit there.  It was so great to be on a flight and read a book, a magazine and watch a movie!  We landed and took the shuttle over to rent our car.  It was sunny and warm and beautiful but I was in the worst mood.  I looked over and saw Scott seemed pretty bummed to.  We both realized it was because this happens every time we fly into California because it bums us out that we don't live there! It's so beautiful and the weather is so great and it would be wonderful to be by family.  Oh well, maybe one day.

We ran by to see Donna and Brien really quick.  Donna was working so I just got to chat for a minute but it was still great to see her.  She's showing although you can hardly tell in a flowy top, which is what she had on.  She looks great.  It was really fun to see her.  We walked over to a little cupcake place by Donna's work with Brien.  He seems to really love living there.

We then drove up to surprise Scott's parents at dinner.  Scott's Dad didn't suspect anything and we told his Mom we couldn't find a sitter so I wasn't coming.  We hid in the car until they got seated and then Scott went in for the surprise.  I waited 5 mins and then went in.  Scott's mom had the greatest reaction to me coming in - she was shocked.  We had some delicious Mexican food and then went back home for some hot tubing.  Kristi, Cole and their kids arrived late that night.  It would have been fun to have our kids there but it was great getting to be with Taylor, Baylee and Layla and getting to play and talk with them more.  They are such sweet girls.

The next morning, Scott and I went for a run.  The weather was just perfect and it had been so long since we've run together - it was wonderful.  We went to Rosa's (another Mexican place) for lunch but we were scared we wouldn't have time for In-N-Out so we stopped on the way to lunch and split a cheeseburger animal style and fries - SO YUMMY!  At the end of lunch (which was so good) Jeff and Alberto came, it was a great surprise.  We never see them so it was really fun.

We went back to Scott's parents and hung out around the pool - again the weather was AMAZING 75 and sunny.  Then packed up for yet another Mexican feast at the Whole Enchilada!  This is where Scott and his family grew up eating ALL the time.  It's soooo good.  Brian, Carrie, Kendall & Connor met us there and we loved seeing them.

We all went back to George and Eileen's (except J & A) and watched a video Scott had made for his Dad of pics starting pretty much when Brian & Carrie got married.  At the end the grandkids sang happy b-day and wished him a happy b-day.  It was really cute.

We woke up the next morning at 5am to catch our flight.  It was a very quick trip but we had a GREAT time.  I wish we lived closer and got to see them all more.
