We decided to do something fun to tell our friends about the gender of Baby Lewis.
(Here is the email invite)
Dear Friends,
Tomorrow afternoon we find out the gender of Baby Lewis! We thought it would be fun to go out for some food to celebrate.
Some of the men have a softball game scheduled for 4:30 pm. If they win that game they will play another game right after at 5:30.
Therefore, the time we meet depends on their success. So, here is the plan...
Plan 1:Meet @ 5:45
Plan 2: Meet @ 6:45
Ben and I thought that it would be fun to go to Five Guys or Sweet Melissa's.
If you think it is a boy head to Five Guys and if you think it's a girl go to Sweet Melissa's.
Sweet Melissa's is located at 200 West Seneca Street.
Five Guys is located at 222 Elmira Road.
They are about 1 1/2 miles apart.
COME SEE IF YOUR GUESS IS CORRECT!
There will also be a prize for the first 3 people that get to the correct location.
- Paige & Ben
After we found out about the baby yesterday Ben had his softball game. I headed over there to find my friends cheering on the guys. I decided to wear my blue and pink striped shirt so they didn't get any hints about the gender of baby Lewis. They asked me how it went and if I had any news to share but I told them it would just have to wait!
The boys won the first game so we moved to Plan 2: meet @ 6:45. The guys played well the second game but just couldn't pull off another win. The game ended and everyone started quickly gathering their belongings. I realized Ben and I needed to hustle to make sure we got their first! We ran to the car and headed down to...
IT'S A BOY!!

Running in first was the Orton family!

And then third were the Stepps
Followed by everyone else.
*Some of my friends, such as Lindsey, were set on me having a girl and staked it out at Melissa's.*
We had a pretty good turnout and had lots of fun eating and celebrating with our friends!
We can't wait for BABY BOY Lewis to come!

ReplyDeleteThat is so creative and fun! We would have been a 5 Guys guesser as well! Wahoo for the baby boy. When we told Cal this morning, he said, "I already knew that mom. Then they are going to have another boy and another boy. Just like our family..." :)
