Happy 60th Birthday, Dad!

Saturday was my dad's 60th birthday. Vanessa and I drove down to Vancouver to spend the weekend with him. After our slow 5 hour drive getting there, we enjoyed our time away. Saturday was full of activity! Maybe too much for a 60 year old, but dad seemed to handle all the excitement better than us. Our first stop was to Big Al's to go bowling and play a few video games while we were waiting.



Vanessa and dad really enjoyed Ms. Pac-man.
Action shot!
This is by far my favorite video game...BIG BUCK HUNTER. I did pretty good, except I hit a couple cows who were hiding in the trees. They shouldn't have been hiding!

Vanessa laughed at me the whole time because I was doing so well. As you can see here, I got a "double bull". We had to leave in the middle of my game so we wouldn't be late for our movie. Oh, how I wish we could have stayed longer.



After the movie, we went to Joe's Crab Shack for a little birthday dinner celebration.

There is nothing better than King crab dipped in butter. Yum!

After our long day, we still had to come home and have cake and open dad's present. By this time, we were all extremely tired, but were excited to have dad open his big gift.

The kids put together a "60 Memories of You" book. We each wrote 15 different memories we had of our dad and put it together with pictures and poems. It turned out really nice and it was fun watching dad read each of the memories. Happy Birthday Dad!
