Dad is 50

A few posts back I mentioned that you never know who we might sneak up on and attack for a 50th birthday. My Dad officially turns 50 July 2nd but since we were all around and he was expecting nothing, we surprised him while camping. The most amazing thing is that we actually managed to pull one over on my Dad-he always guesses things!

My brothers James and Brian, bother-in-law Bill, Uncle Rob, cousin Kyle, and Nathan stole Dad away for a "men's only" hike and geocache after lunch on Saturday. This allowed the guests to arrive undetected. When the hikers returned there was an entire party waiting and a lovely cake greeting Dad. It was fun afternoon complete with the gifts of a cane, "elderly" products, some beer, and, of course, a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday.

Now we're all nervously awaiting Dad getting back at us for having a party when we were told he wanted "no attention" on his birthday. Hee-hee. :0
