60th Birthday

This past weekend we had a surprise 60th birthday party for my Dad.  It was a great party including many family & friends!  It was fun to see my Dad so surprised once he walked in the door & realized everyone was there for him. 

All through my childhood, one of my fondest memories of my Dad is him playing in the band.  All through growing up I would dance in the basement while the band rocked away practicing.  My Dad is very passionate about music and loves playing the drums.  He had been in a band since my Mom & Dad first met - in high school!  So, for my Dad's 60th birthday party, my Mom hired a band that let my Dad play a few sets.  It sure was fun to see him in his element & having such a good time!  He did a great job of getting all our family & friends out on the dance floor.  The grandkids were in heaven!  Many of them have never even heard him play.  A couple of my Dad's old band mates were there as well, so they had a good time re-connecting & making music again.  It was a pretty fun night!
