'Going Away' Party

Well……what a great party.  Thanks so much to Grant and Kim for their generous hospitality and Ryan for organizing a stellar Going Away party.  Grant and Kim’s place on the beach was done up like a wedding, with tons of balloons with African prints.  Ryan’s tenant supplied the DJ equipment, and Angie’s farm provided the Alberta Beef burgers!!  Thanks to Tracey and Susan, Dana, Paul and Piper for coming in costume.  Of course, what party would be complete without the Tickle Trunk making an appearance and everyone dove in to dress up in many different costumes and wigs.  I think it was when Ryan starting his own karaoke on the mic, when the party really kicked in.  While we were all dancing outside to Ryan’s crooning, there was obviously a different beat being played inside.  AC/DC was cranked and wigs were flying with all the head banging.  One of the most interesting moves, was Paul down on all fours, with Tracey standing on his back like she was surfing.  And of course, Amy was cutting a rug while ‘playing her toy’!  I think Paul tried on every outfit in the tickle trunk, but my favourite was the leopard skin dress and fish net stockings!
Thanks to all who enjoyed our bash until the wee hours.  Kim and Grant, you are fantastic hosts and we know you had a blast too!!  We couldn’t have asked for a better send-off!
