Birthday surprise

If you know me, you know I love to surprise people and usually get away with it!  Well I "struck" again.  About a month before Bradley's birthday I asked if I could take him to a Twins game as a present.  He picked the game April 27th which is the day after his birthday.  After I ordered the tickets I quickly thought of some friends of ours so I texted Katie and asked if they wanted in on the surprise.  Of course they were right on it & amazingly enough they got seats right next to us.  It was hard to keep that in a whole month especially since we see and talk to them here and there.  It was a grey Friday and I was a bit worried the game would get rained out but off we went to Target field.  Brad drove up so little did he know that I was texting Katie the whole way up to complete our plan.  Eric & Katie were ahead of us so they found an awesome parking spot.  We decided to meet at Hrbek's for a bite so I was speed walking while Brad was at his normal "stroll through the park" pace.  As we walked in I saw our friends to the left but he was set on getting a beverage.  I encouraged him to find a seat first then we would order and as he turned the surprise was complete!  He asked them where their seats were and Katie quickly shot back, "I don't know, where are our seats?".  He was like no way!  We had a blast (i know I overuse that word but only one I can think of lol).  At one point a homerun ball came within a row of us.  The game went by so fast as but we enjoyed the loss with our friends nonetheless.
