My husband turned 40 last week! Hard to believe. We had a few good surprises cooked up for him though. His best friend Jon, who lives in Omaha, flew out for 4 days. I blindfolded Tim and drove to the airport and we picked up Jon. Tim was totally surprised. It was great fun. Tim and Jon have kept their friendship going through the years. They are more like brothers than friends. We lived in the same town as Jon and his wife when we were married and even in the same neighborhood for a while. It was great to have him out visiting, especially for Tim. Although we have some great friends where we live, we don't have anyone we are friends with that we have a long history with.
We went straight from the airport to Camano Island to a zip line course. None of us had ever tried this, but it was great fun, and adventurous! There were 6 zip lines and 2 guides that went along with us and did all the hooking up and sending us off on each line and catching us on the other end. It was BEAUTIFUL weather. I could not have been more greatful for that.
Beautiful view of Mt. Baker off in the distance.
The scariest part of the whole thing for me was getting down at the end. You had to be lowered on a rope through this hole in the platform and come down. It wasn't too bad, but sitting down at the top through the hole and letting yourself fall back a bit did give me pause...
We also had a small party one night with friends from church and Tim's family. I dressed the boys and cousin Levi up as "little old men" and sprayed their hair white. They came down the stairs marching and singing "Happy Birthday". Quite cute.
Tim and Jon and his brother Chris...
