it was an unusual birthday for the boys as both hoosier man and i had to work. but we had plans to celebrate the boys' 15th birthday the entire evening. we hijacked their best friend Hunter to join us for the evening, surprising the boys too and getting a sharp scream when they realized Hunter was coming along when we went to pick him up. We headed for Richmond Hill and Jump n Jack, a fairly new establishment - fun zone with laser tag and arcade games galore. We were only planning on a couple of games of laser tage before heading for dinner but the owner of Jump n Jack's is a friend of Jeff's and he had one of his employees give each of them a $20 gift card to use in the arcade. it was like a special birthday present for them all. they really had a bunch of fun.
the boys chose olive garden for dinner. not a bad choice. we didn't have a long wait because it was after 7pm and it was a thursday. we played 20 questions, going around the table several times, throughout the meal, and just chatting before going home to have the boys open presents. of course they made out like bandits. Legos from each other and their friend. their big sister elizabeth gave them ipods, head phones, charger, and a gift card to the app store. they were in awe!!! our gift rocked too. we got them pump action bb guns with a 'laser' scope. its a bigger, more sophisticated bb gun then their first one, made for older teens.
it was a good evening celebrating their 15 years
