travis's {actual} birthday.

oh, we're not done yet.  you thought a camping party would be birthday enough for travis?  heck no!  we had to do his birthday on the 23rd, but i wanted his actual day to be special too, so krystal, mike, and i surprised him with dinner and cupcakes at go west in sapulpa. 

none of us had ever been before, but it had come well-recommended and was supposed to be a great steak place.  mike and krystal came to our house and then rode over with us.  we got a little turned around (took a right when we should have taken a left), and mike was afraid we were going to be in a scene out of deliverance. it started making him ill.

and as it turns out, mike wasn't carsick or ill over deliverance -- he was actually coming down with the flu!  half way through the meal he had to go outside.  krystal let us know today that he's actually very sick.  crazy how things just sneak up on us like that. -- happy birthday, travis!  i can't wait to celebrate many, many more with you!
