Ben and Grandpa's Birthday

Yesterday was Ben's bog 4-0.

I have been planning this for almost a year. It started out with waffles (his favorite) for breakfast, and then Greek food (another favorite) for he and his family for dinner. We also, of course, made his favorite chocolate cake.

We happened to have a co-op at a coffee shop/game store, and we saw a game that I knew he would enjoy- Spy Alley.

I have no idea what is going on with Ben's face here. Maybe old age?

The girls had fun decorating the house for the Birthday boys, and insisted on getting a picture of them in front of this sign.

Then, for the big surprise:

A WRX! This is Ben's dream car, so I figured out how to rent one for Ben to drive.

We picked it up today, and he has 24 hours to enjoy it. So far, he is in love.

We drove up to Daniel's Park. Tomorrow we are going to go up to the mountains so Ben can get  a good feel for the car. We will see if this leads us to a Subaru dealership next weekend.

Oh, and of course- since we live in Colorado- while testing out the WRX we ran into a herd of buffalo. Because, well, it's Colorado.

The views are so beautiful up here!

 Oh, and this is the sub woofer in the back of the car. This car is very pimped out- it even has a radar detector so Ben can definitely speed.

Yeah, I pretty much nailed his Birthday this year.  Now he can't ever blame me for him not getting his dream car;)
