My Dad's suprise birthday party

I can't believe we pulled it off!!! We threw a suprise 60th birthday party for my dad out at the lake this past weekend. His whole family flew in town for the festivities and he was definitely suprised. Friday night was the actual party and we did a Tiki Theme! Eric took my dad to a late lunch of Friday so that he wouldn't leave work early and get down to the lake before we were ready for the suprise. When he opened the door his whole family was waiting for him and ready to help him celebrate his 60th year! 7 people flew in town from all over the country!! Everyone wore hawaiian gear and the house was decorated to the T for the Luau/Tiki theme. We had so much fun and I am so happy that my dad was actually suprised. People stayed for the weekend and enjoyed some relaxation time.....and late nights catching up. Thank you to everyone who flew in to help with suprise. It wouldn't have been a party without you all there! Happy birthday dad and thank for being such an amazing dad and grandpa. Here are some pictures from the weekend...Enjoy!
