Craig's B-day Surprise

Craig's Birthday is coming up on Wednesday so we went out on Saturday for his B-day. He had no idea what we were doing. I love planning surprises but I was a little nervous with this one. I decided to take him to a flight simulator. I don't know of anyone who has done this but I saw an ad in a magazine and thought it would be fun since he is into video games and it was something different. I didn't really want to do it and thought he would have more fun with his buddies who are also into video games so I called two of his friends and asked them if they wanted to join him. They both jumped on the idea! So we went out to grab a little bite to eat before since our "take-off" was at 7:30. We pulled up to the place and it was perfect because Mike and Thorin were already there. Craig sees where we were and is excited...good I made a good choice. Then we open the door and he sees Mike and Thorin so he is totally surprised! Yeah! We check in and then they suit up!

Then they go into a 10 minute briefing on how to operate their planes.

These are the screens where you can view all the people flying. This is where I watched from!

All ready to dogfight!
