Lisa's birthday

What a fun day..well after sod removal.So the day started early for me - my neighbor needed help removing all the sod in his backyard. The old owners, before they moved, trashed the yard, and he was paying for it. So for several hours in the morning, we used a sod-cutter and got it out. We went to lunch while it poured outside, and proceeded hopefully to Thanksgiving Point for the tulip festival. This is our second year in a row, and, just like last year, it was gorgeous. The beautiful colors and beautiful day was perfect. Sydney had fun spraying us, blocking the water fountain spouts, and we got a lot of cute pictures like these:

After this, we all went home for a nap, which was quite good, as I had taken two Benadryl-D to get my allergies to calm down from the weeds during the sod-cutting. We went out to Lisa's parent's house to drop off Sydney. I had told Lisa's mom I was talking Lisa to the symphony, and that it was a secret. Evidently this wasn't passed on when Lisa's mom told her dad, and he mentioned how excited he was that we were going to the symphony. Oh well, she would have found out soon enough.

The symphony was awesome. It was "The Best of Sondheim", who did a lot of musicals such as Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum, and Merrily We Roll Along. I didn't recognize a lot, other than several they did of Into the Woods, but it was such a great night. The vocalists were hilarious and the music was outstanding.
