I invited some close family and friends, which came out to be about 60 people. It was SO fun and not that stressful for me as everyone who had come brought food.
I pretended to Lee I had a bad headache and couldn't come to church, so I stayed home with Tenley. I then took him and the kids on a bit of a scavenger hunt which occupied him for an hour while people got here and I was able to prepare a bit.
After church he went to my parents place as I had told him we were having a family dinner there (miraculously my headache had gone away). He got there and there was a note on the door that told him and the kids to get dressed into some more casual clothes and to look in his pocket for his next clue.
He then was supposed to get his brother Greg who was in town, and there was a note that told him to take Greg to see the lot we just purchased.
He showed Greg the lot and there was a note there that told him to go to sobeys and pick up some ice. He then was supposed to go to customer service to pick up another note.
The next note told him to go to Dayna's house. When he got there, Dayna and I had blown up a bunch of balloons that had papers inside that said "home" in a bunch of different languages, and some that were empty.
He then came home and his friends/family surprised him. (Most of the people parked in the splash park parking lot so he didn't think there were that many people there).
I was a bit worried about the weather as it was supposed to rain, but LUCKILY it didn't and kids were able to go in the backyard and play. I didn't even see Tenley the whole time, she was quite fond of her Great Grandma Sefcik and cuddled with her the majority of the time.
I was a little distracted and didn't take many pictures, but i'll post the ones I was able to quickly take.
