The last weekend in June we planned a surprise for Jonathan's birthday (It's actually July 5th, but seems to always fall 2nd place to July 4th celebrations) So.... with some help from the family and Jon's office, we plotted the perfect plan. It was 6-weeks in the making so I confess that I'm ever so proud of myself for actually managing to keep it a secret. It was not easy! ha..ha...
Friday morning, Jon left for work and the boys and I got crackin' packing bags. OK. I got crackin', the boys did the usual ... breakfast and morning PBS adventures. Around noon, we were off to the office for Daddy's surprise. Jon's morning schedule was full of real patients, but the afternoon was full of fakes - mostly relatives of the staff. (They thought it funny he didn't catch on to the similar names ... he thought it funny that they were surprised by that. LOL) We shared the traditional birthday festivities with the staff and then filled him on the real surprise. That he was free for the afternoon and we were headed north for a fun-filled, kid-free weekend!!
We dropped his car at the house, left the boys with Aunt Mer and headed up the Beeline Hwy to Payson. There were Moto Cross Races, an concert at the Park, hikes to a handful of beautiful locations and massages at the Spa ... it was a wonderful weekend.
