Aloha!! Sweet Sixteen

Let's start from the beginning. Brittany's older sister Alexa had planned to fly down and surprise Brittany for her big 16th birthday party. So with plans made and a ticket bought we all kept our mouths shut in hopes of keeping it a surprise. Amazingly it worked. So Lex was due to fly in on Friday night. Of course we needed and excuse for leaving. So the plan was Rod & I had a meeting to go to. Actually we did have a meeting, just not the boring type. We had to meet someone at the airport.This was Lex's first time to fly, so she had an experience to get through. She was flying through Atlanta(what an airport for the first time) Luckily her gates were very close together. She arrived early and we were able to get home to some surprised kids.Below is a picture at the airport in the elevator after finding luggage.






Below is a short video of when we walked in the door to surprise Brittany. As usual she was on the phone and hung up on her friend.




Brittany decided she wanted a hawaiian theme for her party. So we had to come up with something to the lua effect. She invited everyone in her class and a few other friends along with some of our family friends . We went to a local park by the water. A beautiful spot and a nice day. Not to hot or too cool. We had a few games like water balloon toss and the limbo. I think all the people around our spot thought we were crazy. All these teenagers chasing each other and having a good time. When the cake fight broke out the neighboring people in the next shelter was cheering for Brittany to get the person she was chasing. Below are some pictures from the afternoon.
