Surprising Weekend

It's a bit confusing, but here goes. Before I got moved up here, I had talked to Glenn's and Gus's about having a 20th Anniversary party for Dad & Ev here in Rice Lake on the weekend of 9/27. But then, there was a wedding in Luck and some other conflicts, so we cancelled the idea. In the meantime, Scott & Laila had already secretly purchased plane tickets. So, they started to hatch a plan to surprise me in Rice Lake. Then they decided to tell me that they were coming so I could plan to see them. Since they were going to be here, we decided to have the anniversary party on Sunday at my home in Rice Lake, even though Kyle's family could not be here due to prior committments. Then, the evil thought came to us that we could turn it around on Laila and do an early surprise 50th birthday party. So, we got her!
