Mike's 30th Birthday Party!

Well, the old man will be turning the big 3-0 on August 5th, and to celebrate we will be having a party on the 11th. It sounds like it's going to be a blast! It's going to start at a Forest Preserve Pavillion down by the Fox River. There is an open pavillion there, and a lot of open space. We're going to have bbq beef & pulled pork sandwiches (tenatively on the menu!), and then some other sides. There is plenty of room there so we're going to take our bean bag game and possibly recruit another set! We've also got an outdoor game kit - bocce ball & badmitton that type of stuff that I think we'll take along too. There is no alcohol permitted on the property, but as I've always been told - it's not illegal unless you get caught!! I think we're going to have a cooler there & a bunch of koozies, and I think as long as people don't get out of control we'll be okay. This picnic is going to wrap up around 7:30, and then we are off to St. Charles to start a pub crawl. Once I get a better idea of how many people are going to join us I'm going to call the bars and see if we can get any specials or anything. The beauty of the plan is that people can come to one thing or both, so it can be tailored to whatever you want & it includes all families for part of the day anyway! I am really excited about it & hope everyone can make it!
