The kids and I had something special planned for Carl's birthday this year. Being the self-proclaimed King of the Nerds, he has always wanted a Segway. We knew that we had to hire a
segway for a ride around Lake Burley Griffin on a beautiful sunny morning.
He was sweating it all week, wondering what his surprise was going to be. I said, "you have to wear comfortable shoes", so he instantly thought rock climbing and was not looking forward to wearing the harness.....hehe.
Then I mentioned that he had to do it by himself (the kids were too young to ride the segways) and others would be there too. I hinted that it was a play titled 'Little Drummer Boy'......pa rum pum pum pum....which he hates.
The kids did well to keep the secret and were excited to see his face when all was revealed!

So did you and the kids run along beside him Tam?
I showed this post to Anthony and his response was along the lines of "don't you ever organise anything like this for my birthday!" No fun, that man! Ha-ha! Me on the other hand, I'd love a turn.
Happy birthday Carl x
