Thursday morning we got up and headed to Cleveland. Although Scott's dad new we were coming, he did not know why. July 5th was his 60th birthday. Scott's mom managed to pull off a Surprise party on the 4th. Family from New Jersey, Pittsburgh, North Carolina (not just us, but others too), work colleagues, and friends and neighbors. Even Uncle Sam (aka Aunt Cris) was there!
Early Saturday morning, Scott and a family friend took his dad out golfing (Tom, Scott's dad, has these pictures, I hope to get them soon) then the prepreations began! The tent/table guy, the bounce house guy, friends coming to help prepare dips and salsa, and other sides, and THE PIG COOKER! Yes, that is right, in the depths of Ohio, we had a good ol' southern BBQ! I know I have a lot of Northen readers, so when I say BBQ, I don't mean hamburgers and hotdogs on a grill! I mean a pig! Slow roasted over a pit! It was DELISH!!
The golfing three arriving. Worked out pretty good that they had Tom sitting in the backseat of his own car! lol
Partiers!

Sunday, the 5th was also Mike's Birthday. Mike is married to one of Scott's cousins.

Great party
OMGosh! I am not sure I could eat BBQ that is looking at me... smiling at me. LOL (think A Christmas Story)
Looks like such a fantastic time!
So cool...I love that it was a surprise party! And I too would not be able to eat an animal looking at me...even though I don't eat pork...I would see the pig as my pet :-)
What a great surprise that was for him! I am sure that pig was delicious.
Looks like everyone had a fantastic time! Glad he had such a great party!
