Again this year we decided to rent another bounce house. The kids and the adults had so much fun on it last year, that we decided a bounce house was another must for this year!
We held the 2013 Surf-N-Turf at Amy and Jared's house again this year. I had arrived a little earlier to help set up while Casey stayed home with Mason while Mason finished up his afternoon nap. At about 5:15 Casey and Mason arrived. Case immediately took Mason out to the bounce house. Mason had so much fun even though he was feeling a little under the weather.
Daniel would send Mason down the slide and Casey would catch him at the bottom. This one time as Daniel sent Mason down Mason leaned a little too forward and ended up doing summer salts down the slide. Casey quickly picked Mason up to find Mason with a big smile on his face. The summer salts down the slide didn't even phase our little Mason.

After everyone had arrived, Daniel and Stacy announced their BIG news! Stacy is due with baby BOY #3 in April 2014. We are so excited for them!
At about 6:00 it was time for dinner. We call this party Surf-N-Turf because of the food. The Surf part comes from the fish, King crab, and shrimp that was served. Casey and I aren't really seafood people so we stayed clear from the Surf food that was served. The Turf comes from the "yummy meat" prepared by Jared, which includes ribs and steak. The meal also consisted of: rolls, jello salad, green salad, Tang and Fruit Punch Slurpees, and chips and nacho cheese. Case and I hadn't eaten anything all day so we would be so hungry for dinner that night. We stuffed ourselves silly with all the food there was to eat.
During dinner it was getting a little cold and our little Mason wasn't handling it to well. I took him inside to play where he enjoyed playing with Legos the rest of the night.
After everyone was done with dinner, we cleaned up and went inside. Since we were all together we decided to celebrate October birthdays, Dad's, Lydia's 6th birthday and Ashley's 1st birthday, along with Jared's birthday which was the end of September. These birthday people were definitely spoiled, the present table looked like Christmas morning!
Lydia is really into My Little Pony lately. Meg made her these cute My Little Pony masks. Everyone had fun trying them on.
Parks insisted the Rainbow Dash mask was his Batman mask. He makes a pretty cute Rainbow Dash Batman!
After opening all the presents, it was time for dessert. Myrn and Garret had made an assortment of desserts to meet all the wishes of the birthday people. They made Carmel apples for dad, pumpkin pie for Jared, and Rainbow Dash and Minnie Mouse cupcakes for Lydia and Ashley. They also made cherry cordial flavored popcorn to munch on. Everything was delicious! Bud especially loved licking the frosting off the cupcakes.
After dessert Case and I took our little grumpy Mason home. Our poor little guy, I wish he would've felt better for the Surf-N-Turf.
The annual Surf-N-Turf pretty much wraps up our fall festivities. We're so sad it's over, but we have so much to look forward to with all the fun the holidays bring.
