Happy 70th Birthday!!!!!

I was lucky enough to get to go to Carlsbad on my way to Las Vegas last weekend for my Dad's 70th Birthday.  I flew into San Diego on Thursday and got to spend the evening with Stefanie, Jeff and the kids and then Stefanie and I drove to Las Vegas on Friday afternoon to spend the weekend with Dad. We drove back to Stefanie's on Sunday night and I got to spend Monday there and flew home very late on Monday night.  I guess it was technically Tuesday morning by the time I made it home but it was sure a fun filled weekend.

Rena and Maleah were going to a Daddy/Daughter dance on Friday night so they both put on their beautiful dresses to show me.

 Friday was neon day at school so everyone was dressed for the occasion.

 Cameron was all ready for school.  He was just waiting for time to go out and play some basketball.

Stefanie is looking very busy at her desk.  I went back after school and picked her up and we headed to Vegas.  We had a few mishaps along the way but we eventually made it!!!!!

We met Dad, Bonnie, and Aimie at the Red Rock when we arrived.  We had a birthday drink and then played a few slot machines.  

 Dad had a baseball game first thing Saturday morning so we were up and moving early.  We had a lot to get done in a short amount of time. 

 He is all ready to play some ball.

 Fred arrived from California during the game so the whole party had now made it.

We went back to the house after the game and had some birthday cake and Honey came over for a visit.  

 Stefanie and I gave him this beautiful shirt and hat.  The shirt says "70 years old and still playing with balls." I thought it was so funny and it has a basketball, baseball and golf ball on it.  All of his favorites.

 We loaded up the car and headed out to eat and go to Old Town.  The other part of his present is a ride on the zip line.

 We got Aimie and Bonnie to do the zipline with us.  I am not sure how excited they were about it but it sure was fun.

 We all survived!!!!!

 I had to get in the picture I guess.  That is my head popping up.

Time for a drink and some outdoor entertainment.  We headed back toward home after we were done downtown and played some slot machines and roulette until the wee hours of the morning.  

 Sunday morning we went to our last buffet of the weekend.  It is Dad's favorite brunch with crab legs and lots of good food.  We had so much fun but the weekend went way to fast.  We headed back toward Stef's after brunch.

 We got home to some kids eating smores by the fire.

 I think they were all glad to see us. :)  On Monday I pretty much did nothing all day.  Stef and the kids went to school and then we went out to dinner and headed toward the airport.
The whole weekend went by so fast but I got a lot in for such a short amount of time and I am so glad that I got to go and see everyone and spend my Dad's birthday with him.  It was a perfect weekend!!!!!
