Eeha's Bday dinner

Yeppers...we went to the haunted mansion for dinner in Cape May...I told Tyler where we were going and I also told him that if he thought he would be scared he should stay with his Dad...it is 2 hours from here and I could not just take him home....he asked all kinds of questions about it and I asked the people at the place how scary it was and they assured me that he would be fine...i told him it was dark and that there were candles and strob lights and purple lights...he told me that he would be ok and he was looking forward to surprising E...um yea....that was a joke....he refused to go into the dining room...we had to pry his fingers from the doorframe to get him in there....i told him i would protect him and that NOTHING would be jumping out at him....there were little kids in there and they were not scared at all...but we all know how skitzy Ty can get....we finally got him in there but he could not even concentrate on eating...he sat with his legs on either side of his chair and his chair sat about a foot from the table (he was afraid that something would grab his legs from under the table) he kept looking ALL around and was so preoccupied with the decorations he did not know that the waiter was asking what he wanted to eat...we finally ordered for him....KING CRAB legs...of course...and he was happy about that...he finally started to eat his soup while we waited for the main course....and after a few LONG minutes...he was having a GREAT time and he loved it....when we left he was so happy that he went there....

yea...Eeha liked it too...but she kept saying "if they sing happy birthday to me i will kill you" i laughed...knowing that they were supposed to come out and sing to her...but there was some sort of mix up and she did not get sung to....lucky her...but i will get her again.... :)

we all had fun and it was a great time...


on the way down they all watched a scary movie...i think that did not help Tyler AT ALL ...but there were no floods or downed trees on the way...however, when we got to the place there was a car in the parking lot that had been damaged by a falling tree....there was a crater on the hood of the car in the shape of a huge tree trunk :(

Jim and Gigi brought there camera...we did too but E left it in the car and i was not going anywhere because Ty would have had to come with me and i was not going to try to get him in the dining room again....so i will post some pics once Jimmy Joe sends the pics to me....
