Happy Birthday MaryBeth!!!

Yesterday was one of my greatest friends birthdays, MaryBeth Kraemer (aka Kiki.) She is a one of a kind gal! Since I have moved back home I have not seen her for a little less than a month. Me, Kim, and Kacie wanted to surprise her with some fun activities. We started out with a classic scavenger hunt. We told her to meet us at the side door of the church where there was a note that basically told her to go to the roof of the church. There we met her and had her play a little mini golf. She had to eventually get down and blow the bouncy ball into the hole to get her next clue. Which led her to where she works at Helly Hansen. She had to find the next clue in her schedule book. The clue led her to Goodwill. She had to walk around and find something to buy, so she found a cool mullet head action figure and a pair of sunglasses. The lady was really really excited to participate in our scavenger hunt. This clue took us to Riverside Park where it took MaryBeth quite some time to find her clue. I hid it earlier under the small purple slide. She had some fun playing on the playground before she finally found the clue. Not only was it hard for her to find but she had a hard time deciphering the clue so she asked some random people at the park, unfortunately they were not from the area and were no help since the clue led us to Safeway. Here, MaryBeth had to find one of her favorite beverages, Root Beer. It didn't take as long to find the clue as it did at the park, but when we did find it she decided it was telling us to go to Shafer Park. We tried to have pizza delivered to the park but they wouldn't do it, so we picked it up on the way. Don't worry the night didn't end there. After chatting for awhile we headed off to Cold Stone in Olympia. We got the workers to sing MaryBeth Happy Birthday. We had ice cream of course and then we sat on the curb and chatted some more because that is what we love to do. We had one more activity planned but it didn't work out and that one will have to remain a mystery. : )
