Brantley's 30th

Back in April I saw a Living Social deal for a pontoon rental.  I immediately knew that would be a great idea for Brantley's upcoming 30th birthday.  The deal was only available Monday-Thursday, and it was too far away.  I couldn't get the deal, but I ran with the idea.  So I made the reservation and for nearly two months I kept everything as secretive as possible.  I was so proud of myself!  I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret.Brantley knew I had something planned, but he didn't know what exactly.  I invited 11 of his/our closest friends, and all of them were able to make it.  We had everything you could possibly need for a day on the lake-delicious cupcakes, yummy sub sandwiches, all sorts of snacks, rafts, an inflatable floating cooler, waterproof playing cards, plenty of noodles, and lots of cold beverages.  Only water for me, though.  I was the captain, and now I can add "pontoon boat driving skills" to my resume.  :)    

He was not too happy about the blindfold, but the rest of us enjoyed it :)

Love this one!  I found it quite hilarious that the two of them wanted to share this float.

So the day was a hit.  We had a blast, and we'll definitely do this again sometime soon!
