My Brother's 30th Surprise

Last weekend my sister in law Stephanie, through my brother a surprise 30th birthday bash.  He doesn't turn 30 until August 3rd, but it's always a good idea to throw it early to really surprise him.  Rusty, Avery and I were the decoys.  Steph told Hank that we wanted to come up so Rusty could go fishing with Hank.  Then once they were out fishing, friends started arriving a few hours later.  We then called them in for "dinner" once everyone was there...and SURPRISE!  He was really surprised I think.

At first he just saw a lot of people when they were pulling up in the boat, and most of the people are people that would hang out at the lake any other weekend so he didn't think much about it.  Then, he saw my dad and realized what was going on. 

Over all a good night and was happy to celebrate with him!  It was a hot one too! 

Here are some pictures of the guys coming in off the lake on Stephanie's brothers fishing boat, and also a few of the party just getting started!
