Connor's birthday is Jan 25th (Sunday) and Jen wanted to do something special for his 16th birthday. It was a 1/2 day at school...so she rented a limo to pick up him and 6 of his friends (2 girls and 4 guys). She first was looking for a pink limo of some sort...not a very popular limo choice. She then found this 'gangsta' style limo and new that Connor would love that even more. The limo was parked out in front of the high school. When school let out there were a lot of students that just stood and stared wonder who the celebrity was that was being dropped off at the school. I told the kids to act Jen's age and not their own. I also told the limo driver that they are mostly good kids. She said she has teenagers also - her comment was - "There are all good kids, until you get a group of good kids together. They behaved well.
The limo took the kids to BIG AL's. It is huge bowling alley fun center - 42 bowling lanes - 4,000 sq. ft. arcade - 7,000 sq. ft. Sports Bar & Grill with One Gigantic Jumbo-Tron (8 ft. tall x 36 ft. wide) - 17 projection screens - 76 High Definition Plasma Screens...it's quite the place. Jen and I drove a car and Megan met us there. We rented 2 lanes for 90 minutes, ordered 3 pizza and large drinks. Can you have much more fun than that...I would say NO you can't.
This is what our area looked like. All the scoring was automated. You put your name the system and the upper screen will display up to the first three characters. Connor enters every one's name in the system so the upper screen displays THE FAT MAN CAN RUN...thank you Connor.Jen tried her hardest to keep this a surprise...does it ever work - not in the Taylor house. Tuesday I sent Jen and email telling her of my schedule for the week and I cc'd Megan (she says she never knows my schedule and if I am going to be home for dinner etc). That night Megan says from downstairs, "So Connor gets a limo?" Connor, who is upstairs on the computer says, "So I get a limo, sweet." Then on Wednesday, Jen asks Connor what kind of cake he wants -he say "Me likey the ice cream cake, okay? Fudgey the Whale." (The Office tv show reference). After Connor explained it to Jen she said, "Not only do I have to make I have to take it to Big Al's." Connor says, "So we're going bowling, sweet."
On a side note - Jen made an ice cream chocolate fudge cake shaped like a whale. This is what she patterned the whale fudge cake after....

The limo looks longer than the bowling lanes!
Sounds like you didn't share the biggest birthday secret of all with Connor - that he was going to have to pick up the tab!

What a fun party!!! Holy cow that limo is sweet! I was totally laughing at Connor finding out everything about his party. I can just hear those conversations just as you typed them, Mitch!

What's funny on the blog is how Gill the Angel fish from an earlier post is giving Fudgey the Whale the eye.
Like, guess who's coming for dinner, chum!
Word verification: lutzatin - the sedative Mitch and Jen had to take after taking Connor and his friends bowling for his birthday ... and realizing that he's now driving age (more lutzatin) ... and how much car insurance rates will be now (can I get a refill on that lutzatin?)
