Well, it wasn’t exactly a surprise because unfortunatly someone’s tongue accidently slipped. Actually, he just didn’t know it was a surprise. “Imagine his sirprese” – Count Olaf
Well, even though it wasn’t exactly a big surprise for him, it was a LOT of fun! We played volley after Lizzy, Josh, Katie, and Danny showed up. We had played for about 20 min. when Christina, our head bopper, showed up. She joined the opposing team. We played for probably another 40 minutes when we were all called to sit down while Spencer recieved his birthday present, a sword, while Mr. Spencer’s father did a ceremony type thing. It was really neat.
After that we went back to vball while the adults and younger kids got hot dogs. We played for a little while, and after the birthday boy’s many plees, we decided to stop and get food. We got settled down and ate, making jokes about each other between mouthfuls of food. Everybody was giving their plates after they were done to Danny, I tried. He said he wouldn’t take. So I walked up to him and dumped my full cup of ice-cold water on him and continued walking toward the house. He wasn’t too far behind with a half-empty cup of lemonade. I broke into a run. I got to the house and put my plate in the trash. I peeked out the door. I didn’t see him so I walked out. He was waiting for me around the side of the house, and as soon as he saw me he took off. I’m a faster runner then ‘Old Dan’, so it was quite impossible to catch me. I ran and sat by my mom, knowing that Danny wouldn’t dare poor anything on me with the chance of getting it on my mom. I was wrong. He just very calmly poored it on my shoulder. Not only that, but he was an influence to his younger sisters, and they later soaked my back with a cup of water. Lovely.
We went back to volley ball after a few “circle warm ups”, that’s where we stand in a circle and see how many times we can hit the ball before it hit the ground. We didn’t do that for very long. We started a game, and before long it was , Katie, Lizzy, David(Lizzy & Joshua’s older brother), Victoria and I against Danny, Josh, Mr. Spencer’s father, Mr. Christina’s father, Spencer, Christina, and Bethany. Later my dad joined our team, and Matthew(Lizzy & Josh’s older brother) joined the opposing team after Katie and Danny left, I think Spencer left too. It was 17-10, us with 17, when they said we had to take the net down, and that the next team who scores a point wins. Lizzy was serving. She served, and it went over the net. Josh hit…too hard. Out of bounds. We win! We all run in to get some water. By now it’s almost dark outside, about 8:00pm, and everyone’s leaving. We say goodbye to everyone, and leave.

It was tons of fun, and I definitely will plan to do something like that at my house soon.
Well, that’s about it! We had fun, and laughter filled the air the entire time. Pictures to come soon!
