Chad's Birthday Weekend

Chad had a fun-filled birthday weekend, starting Friday night when we had supper at our Pastor's house with his family. Pastor Michael and Kerry have two little kids the same age as our boys. The kids had a great time playing together, while we enjoyed the company of other adults! :-)

Saturday, Chad and I headed to Gurnee, IL for some Red Lobster. On the way down, we stopped at the Pleasant Prairie Outlet Mall. We enjoyed way too much food at Red Lobster and went to walk it off at the Gurnee Mills Mall, when Aunt Lou and Louis surprised Chad with a mini birthday cake. Here is a picture with the carousel in the background.

Thanks so much for surprising Chad with birthday cake and visiting with us. You guys are so sweet!! :-)

We walked through "Outdoor World - Bass Pro Shop" at the Mall. This would be comparable to a "Cabela's". We knew the boys would love this place, so we took some pictures for them to see.

We will share the pictures with you....lots of animals and fish at this store...

There is even a shooting range at this place.

Notice Chad's glowing sweatshirt.....

I had to stand in front of it to get a picture without the "glow"!

Tonight we are going to our neighbors for the big "Superbowl" bash! Maybe I will bring my camera.....

Happy Birthday Chad!
