SURPRISE--Happy 50th John!!

What to do... what to do... get him what he REALLY wants!  A Suzuki 400 dirt bike.  Since I know absolutely NOTHING about motorcycles and don't like them at all, I asked a friend of John's that works for him to help me locate this particular bike.  He found one--in Montana!  I enlisted his help to pick up the bike with Garrett and our Trailblazer.   I came up with some crazy story about Garrett going to a drive-in with a group of friends, seeing a double feature, wanting to take the Trailblazer to fit in more people, spending the night at a friends', etc., etc.  It all worked out and we stored the bike in someone's garage for a week.

Yesterday after church, John opened up the garage to the biggest surprise of his life...

He was SO excited.  The funny thing is that just the day before when he was working in the yard with Garrett he mentioned that as soon as I wasn't looking, he was going to go get this exact bike.

Hopefully he'll be riding with a helmet and not in church clothes...

The kids also came up with 50 gifts which he loved!!

More surprises to come...
