Seth got the surprise of his life on Saturday afternoon when a stretch Hummer limo pulled up in front of our house. Grandpa, knowing how much Seth loves limos and Hummers, gave Seth the ultimate gift of 4 hours in a stretch Hummer. When it pulled up and we got Seth outside he was truly speechless!!! He could hardly believe that he would actually get to ride in it. I had arranged for three of his friends to go with us and Isaiah was actually here when it arrived. The boys were so excited and kept talking about how much fun it would be if their friend Jake could join them. Not knowing that I had called and set that up I told Seth that we could go pick him up after stopping by Aunties and getting Ryan. He didn't think it could get any better until we got to Vanessa's house and saw his other friend Jake waiting there with Ryan. Lynette, Cass, Alicia and Jillian were also waiting to go with us. In all we had 16 people (seems to be the magic number for party guests this year) riding with us.
Our first stop was Vanessa's followed by Jake Reeb's house. After that we went to the Sugar Bowl in downtown Scottsdale. I had never been there before but it turned out to be the perfect place to go. Not only is it a good old fashioned ice cream parlor but they had a few games to keep the kids occupied while they waited for their food. After eating we piled back into the limo and headed for The Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak where we would be dropping Seth, Chris, Matt and Ryan off. Vanessa and I would return later to spend the night but first we had to get the rest of the kids back and pick up our cars.
The kids all had so much fun!!! They thought it was cool to watch the people passing watch us. We are always wondering who's inside a limo when we pass so it was fun to be on the other end, or should I say on the inside looking out. The driver had decorated the inside with a birthday banner and balloons, which the kids liked batting back and forth between them. It was something they won't soon forget! I've never seen Seth so excited about something. Lynette noticed it too and commented on it. The next morning Seth said that Saturday had been the best day of his life.
Thank you Grandpa for making a 10 year old's dream come true!!!!!
