He started the day moping because he was turning 46! We spend the day celebrating with my in-laws. Hearing about Dane's childhood, everyone laughed a lot, which we all needed!
The stories go on about his aunt losing him in the clothing rack, jealous, our nephew pouring soda onto his bed, Grandma N* falling backward off the escalator when he was a rootsy-boo, the list went on. Later, he broke out the 1950s dance moves from 8th grade and insisted I join. Dane started talking about flipping me after some crazy spin move, "Nope. I'm out!" Long story short, I made the spin move but ran away when he tried the flip. I love his blue eyes, but they look scary when he's intense or having fun.
Sam, his friend, Dane, and I walked the very cold http://www.fantasytrail.com Negative for newts in the pond. but we did have fun chasing each other through the pirate maze.
Along with good moves, Dane's a great prankster. Knowing how scary it was, he twisted me on the Tarzan swing, causing me to swing out of control. It was fun UNTIL I almost hit a tree! I ran as fast as I could to attempt a leg sweep. Safe inside (for him), I warmed up a bit. Emma then begged for a turn on the swing. Braving the cold, I got some great pics of her as well.
We missed one member of the family. I hope next year we'll see her face cring while we all sing the endless birthday song!
