Yesterday was great! We met at Josh's around 2 pm and fiddled around waiting for the stragglers to arrive. Ken and Ashley played a game of air hockey I can only describe as epic and retarded at the same time. After that we carpooled over the mini golf place. I totally rocked the first two holes, then spent the rest of the game sucking terribly. After the 9th hole we took a break to cool down (of course it would be 90 degrees on the one day I'm outside). We resumed the game after Nick kicked Ashley's butt in a round of DDR. After we finally finished mini golf, we headed to Red Robin for a birthday dinner for Josh. I told the waiter that not only was it our friend's birthday, but he should try to embarrass Josh as much as possible. At the end of the dinner, the waiter stood up on a chair and yelled to the whole restaurant that it was Josh's 12th birthday, and then he and the other servers did the sing n clap thing. I'm fairly certain Josh will now launch a revenge scheme for my birthday. While waiting for the check, I collected everyone's straws and connected them all together. I was able to drink from Ken's cup from all the way at the other end of the table. We left the straw standing up (kept in place by various cups and silverware) so that it looked like the arch.

After dinner we all went back to Josh's dungeon basement and played a round of Cranium. Holy cow, Julie and I are really psychic when it comes to that game. We teamed together (again) and there were a few really awesome moments of the game where we were totally in sync. Like a round of Sensosketch, in which Julie had to close her eyes and draw an animal, and within a few seconds I could tell she was drawing Saizo the pig from Peacemaker Kurogane. After Ken and Josh won Cranium we played Clue. I hadn't played Clue in ages, but I really got into the game. I dunnit the first round, and I won! The next round Julie dunnit and won xD

During the board-gaming, Josh's dad came down with some interesting beverages for us to try. Seagrams Escapes, deliciously fruity flavored beer. I wouldn't have believed it was beer if it didn't say it on the label. YUM! I found some nice recipes on the Seagrams website that mom and I are itching to try.
