How We Spent Our Saturday (or What We Did While Mama Was Gone)

Joy is in South Carolina for the weekend visiting some college friends. I think this is the first time she has been gone overnight, but us boys found plenty to keep us busy today.

We got our morning started early with a sunrise bike ride.

Then off to find a couple of geocaches.
 

We met up with one of our favorite people for some doughnuts.
 

We made a new friend and experimented with nets and hunting blinds at Gander Mtn.
 
 Then of course we had to use Mama's birthday coupon for Schlotzsky's...I mean it expired today and we couldn't let it go to waste now could we :-)
 
 A nap and some Mr. Potato Head time to recharge after a busy morning.
(Not pictured: an afternoon's worth of college football)
 
Our little cleaner made quick work of a very dirty van while O and I worked on bikes.
 
And we still had plenty of time to spend in the fort.
 
We went out for dinner using another of Mama's expiring birthday coupons.
 
And finally, we ended our day with cupcakes to celebrate Mama's birthday.
 
Happy 30th to the best Mama we know! We love you!!!

  2. What a perfect day! Joy will wish she could have been in two places at one time. Thanks for posting, Jon.
