Happy Birtday, Darryl!

Last night we had a surprise birthday party for our good good friend (and dive instructor/buddy) Darryl.

It was a great party in what has become an Ola Lola's tradition - lots of people, tons of food and tons of fun.

Darryl's birthday was actually Wednesday. We went diving with him and it was a great dive (Elaine is going to write about that). But he dives every day so it wasn't a really really special birthday. We couldn't let it go with just a post-dive hug and a "happy birthday." So we had a surprise party. And he was truly surprised! Somehow, we managed to keep it a secret - and to get him here right on time.

Darryl is going to Paris in a month so we gave his surprise party a French theme.

Thanks to everyone who helped and everyone who brought food. Special thanks to Kendra, who couldn't be here for the party 'cause she and husband Boyd are in Barbados, but who made the berets and other decorations before she left.

There will be a few more party pictures on Flickr tomorrow. The next Ola Lola's parties? Boyd and Kendra's going away party then Zan's birthday. Watch out for that one!
