08.22.2009: Drake's Birthday Weekend

For Drake's 7th Birthday we celebrated by going to a Charger-Cardinal pre-season football game. We originally planned to have a tailgate party in the parking lot before the game, however the rules at Cardinal stadium seemed so strict, and you had to buy a pass to tailgate in the right lots.....we decided to have our own tailgate party in our driveway! :) Worked out for the best because that day ended up being unusually hot and humid!!! So, we had the A/C kicking in the house for refuge! Which worked out GREAT for the kids! We had a group of about 16 people that came to the game, which made it a lot of fun! Christina & Justice came out from LA.....Mike and Perry Lynn came out from Orange County...Nicole came down from Flag...Brent, Alisa and the kids came all the way from Mesa :) Greg was in town and brought Carol too! And of course Brian Greene was here. It was a blast! Also, we had a nice cake before we went...which the blue icing turned everyone's mouths, skin, teeth, basically anything that came in contact with it BLUE. It was great! The cake was gorgeous, you just had to eat it at your own risk!!!

After the game, we came home and the kids got to play with the transformer masks they got....we drank wine....and ate more blue cake! :) A definite great birthday for a 7 yr old!!
