My sister, being party planner extraordinaire planned him an AWESOME surprise party. The them was a 50's Beach Bash. The BIL had no idea. My hubby took him for an overnight fishing trip and brought him back to a huge waterslide in his yard, an outdoor theater, hamburgers and hotdogs, 50 people dressed up like a blast from the past and some really short shorts for him to wear.

It was such a fun day. There was a watermelon eating contest for the guys and a hula hoop contest for the girls. For prizes you could choose from Silly Putty, Fireballs, Bubble Gum, polka-dot sunglasses for the girls and fake Raybans for the guys. They also set up a volleyball court and a badminton court. When it got dark we all watched movies outside. They set up a sheet on the side of the garage and had a projector. So much fun! Happy birthday to my old BIL!
