Surprise 30th Birthday for Rich

This will be a birthday that Rich will not forget! He went out shooting clay targets with some friends and when he came into

the club house afterwards there we all were to greet him with Happy Birthdays!

Rich is not big on surprises and couldn't believe that this happened to him - but he was a good sport! We enjoyed a great lunch at Hunter's Creek Hunt Club (where Rich is a member) - pheasant ala king (wow was that good!), fresh lake perch and prime rib. And then a yummy cake from Blooming Bakery.

Rich's dad, Robert, decided to take the little ones out onto the dock to fish. Megan got to reel the first one in - and even tried to hold the fish! Karsten had a turn and kept yelling Wow!! Then it was Parker's turn. These kiddies had a great time out there! Megan came back with a little "fish" on her dress, Karsten found a puddle to stomp in and Parker too had fish and mud on him.

We again had hot, muggy weather - perfect for a storm to form. And like the past few days a storm did form! We had all gone home by then (hit very quickly at Michelle's where we were - we actually went to the basement!) but Kari & Rich were still at the club. Boats were washed out into the lake, awning over the patio was brought down along with many trees. Yikes!

Like I said - it will be a birthday he doesn't forget!

Happy Birthday Rich!!
