Saturday was Brad's birthday. Generally speaking, I have a difficult time ever surprising him (he is way too good at reading me and usually guesses - what a turkey!). This year I decided I was going to pull off a surprise. I saw an advertisement for a lunch cruise of the Snake River on a river boat called the Snake River Queen. I made reservations and just told him to be dressed in nice casual clothes by 12:30 Saturday afternoon. He was petrified that I had organized some type of surprise party (he hates those things -- he gets so embarrassed when he's the center of attention!). He kept asking me if it was anything embarrassing or if people were going to be there, etc. I just assured him that I would never do anything to embarrass him :). We pulled up to the place and he was so relieved AND surprised!!! Yea!!! We had a wonderful 2 hour cruise with a beautiful view, lots of time to talk, and a good lunch. The kids stayed home with a babysitter and had a great time of their own (Kate cried when we came back because she wanted to keep playing with MaKyla). Brad's comment was that for some people the cruise might have been boring, but he must be getting older because it was the perfect birthday celebration for him! (He's not at all tempted to sky dive or base jump or scale Mt. Everest, thank goodness!) We hadn't been on a date alone in quite a while so we really enjoyed the day. I just hope I can come up with something fun for next year!
