Brett's birthday surprise!

Brett has been home for a year now, can you believe it?! It's crazy :) His birthday was on July 18th which ended up being a wednesday this year and with both of us working we decided to make some yummy dinner and watch a movie and call it good. Brett doesn't like to be the center of attention very much so he didn't mind that, but what he didn't know was that I had been planning something for him for weeks :) So we decided we would celebrate his birthday on Saturday!

I talked to Barb and Kim (our ma and pa out here, our landlords) and they let us borrow their fishing boat for the day. For those of you who don't know yet, we have taken a new hobby! We are now fishermen, haha and Brett loves every single minute of it! We live 20 steps from the lake and we are always trying to get down there. Anyways, early Saturday morning, I woke up Brett and we got some breakfast at the Wrangler Cafe. (Yes, It used to be an old folks cafeteria)
Brett still had no idea what we were gonna do for the day and that's just how I wanted it. We bought a few things and were off to the lake, Brett figured it out and was so happy!

 We were out on the lake for hours, it was so much fun! We caught some big Walleye this time and a Northern Pike! It was so fun being out in the middle of the lake all by ourselves and being in the sun! We fished, swam and laughed a lot. After fishing, we decided to meet Bro. Park and his wife in Minot for the Batman movie, which... wasn't that great... and then we ran to the State Fair and had some fair food! It was such a fun day and Brett says the best birthday surprise! We both got a little sunburnt.... well, Brett a little more than a little aha but don't get mad at me, I have never needed that much sunscreen before, how was I supposed to know! :)
