Gadd's Got Talent...sort of...

So last night we went to my friends surprise party she threw for her husband's 30th birthday....
Yup, it was a really, super fun Luau. My friend Stacey thought of everything. She had every little detail planned. It was perfect. We had a lot of fun and discovered we have some interesting talents we didn't know we had!

Sadie is really great at kicking the other kids off the swings so she can have a turn. She somehow convinces all of them that it is her turn. Either it's her sweet charm or she just screams, either way...that's talent!



So Stacey got a limbo pole out and got the crowd to play along. The kids really got into it and had some fun. Ethan decided to go for it and did a great job. A new talent for Ethan!

Stacey and Matt talked me into joining the fun game, and well, I didn't know I could even do it. So here you go.... Erin's new little talent...one of those useless ones!

Spencer was the big surprise of the night! There was a hula hoop contest and he won! Now he didn't use the traditional around the waist type hoola hooping... Oh, no...not my boy...he went for around the neck! To my surprise and Matt's, he was really VERY good at it! He keep that hoop spinning around his neck for quite a while! What a talented kid I tell ya...
Spencer's prize was this nifty snorkel set. And of course he's his mother's child...couldn't wait to get home to try out the new set!

So we had a really great time, thanks Stacey for all your hard work, and to Stacey's husband, Happy Birthday. Thank you for allowing the Gadd family to discover unknown talents!

Aloha!

So...what talent did Matt discover? Did he try the limbo thing too? Or the hula hoop contest? What a fun party!

Matt discovered that he no longer has a talent for drinking caffeinated soda without having a throbbing headache for the next 2-3 days. No more Mountain Dew for me!

I remember the limbo -- it comes straight out of the 60's ! ! ! Makes for an aching back. Looks like the party was lots of fun.
