Happy Retirement Dad!

Its finally happening - my dad is RETIRING!!  Its been on the table for him for a couple years, but this was the magic time when it all worked out for him.  We are so excited for him and we wanted to do something really special for him!  His last week of work happened to be a business trip to S. America.  He returned home on Saturday around noon and we were scheming a surprise for him!  Amy and Andrew flew home as a surprise.  Then we met up with Kyle, Ali, Amy, Andrew and our family of 5 to arrive all together at my parents house around 2:00 that day!  We knocked on the door and my dad was SO SURPRISED!  It was perfect!!
We just gathered for some snacks and drinks - my dad didn't know there were more surprises coming.





We had a couple gifts for Dad and mom had some gifts for him related to an upcoming trip to CA that she planned for him.

Then the next surprise arrived: a limo!!

Before Bob and Deb arrived to pick up the kids, they got to take a little spin in the limo!  So exciting!


Then the grown ups took for a fun night!!!  It was a great celebration all together and the best night!! Congratulations to my dad - the best and most hardworking man we've ever known!!  ENJOY!
