Fun. It was just us and we had cake and ice cream. She had no idea what was going on but she liked the cake.
I'm assuming lots of cake smearing.

Watch church league softball. There's plenty of aggressiveness in church sports.

Your kids would love it! Took my kids many times when they were young. Heck, when I was in grade school my parents took me, my brother and sister when we were driving from Connecticut to Michigan to visit family. I know you and your family have never seen a large body of water where you can’t see land on the other side, it is literally on Lake Erie. A friend of ours took his family and me and my family in his 67’ Sea Ray, pulled up to the docks and made a day of it. World class Walleye, yellow fin perch and small mouth bass fishing. I don’t think you could catch any of those in the Gulf of America. Temp in the summer is much milder also!
Ive always wanted to go walleye fishing, or any kind of deep lake fishing! Those are definitely the types of trips you always remember. They're the kind of experiences you want your kids to have. :)

@kingranch2003 , hey John, what type of pricing should I expect for two heads of flathead Dendros ? Asking for a friend.
You know honestly Kevin, I've only ever bought the one colony. I got it for $150 but I won it in an auction. I THINK they're usually $50 to $100 per head? Let me check some places for "Your friend".

Thanks, I found a two head at Corals.Com for about $150. I guess I’m stopping on my way home Friday!
