the big 5-0!

last thursday, we took a trip to prattville to surprise my dad for his 50th birthday. he was definitely surprised, and it was so exciting to know we pulled it off without him knowing we would be there!

we filled our few days with the fam with birthday lunch, harry potter, a round of golf for lee and my dad, a vbs celebration service, and a low-key karaoke birthday party for my dad. that's right...karaoke. singing in front of people is not exactly my favorite thing to do, but somehow i still wound up singing a duet of "i just can't wait to be king" with rachel, and "you're the one that i want" with lee. i guess i figured if i had to that it might as well be a song from a movie and i might as well share the stage with someone else. we also got to enjoy some classic 70's music, a little elvis, and our very own group version of "take me out to the ballgame."

we ended our trip with a few hours in tuscaloosa. we arrived to sunday school a few minutes late, but we still got to catch up with all of those wonderful people. we also got enjoy iguana grill for lunch and more hang out time with our friends there. yes, i know we live in texas now and have great mexican food out here, but iguana grill is different than anywhere else because of that awesome salsa. yum :)

we have a couple more trips before the summer ends so stay tuned over the next couple of weeks!
