Since some of us didn't get to go on the cruise we had a little retreat with just the siblings & my mom and dad..We left the kids at home to have some quality time with the fam..Anne and Karl even came from Oregan!
We got up there friday afternoon and just lounged around while everyone showed up..We had a special night planned for my dad's 70th birthday! We started the festivities off with my dad's favorite foods and treats..you can't go wrong with twinkies, fritos & dip and charleston chews.. We had hot dogs for dinner also my dads favorite..
Then it was time for gifts. My dad has always loved Micheal Jackson..growing up he would always blar his music in the car. So it was only appropriate to give him a life size of Mr. Micheal Jackson to put in his theater room. My dad loved it, and even did a little Micheal move..we could not stop laughing!!
My dad always talks about his list of regrets, but the one at the top of the list is not seeing Elvis in concert..Well it was his lucky day..Elvis came to him.. Mitch dressed up in an Elvis costume and lipsinked is music..We were all laughing so hard that we were crying! Mitch had the moves and all. It was so awesome! My dad loved it!
We spent the rest of the night chatting til 130 in the morning. We always have so much fun together reminising about the old days.
The rest of the weekend we relaxed, took naps, played games and of course ate plenty of delicious food. On Saturday night we got the privledge to hear about my mom and dad's mission and see pictures and videos. They had an amazing mission, and it was so fun to hear of all their experiences!
What a fun weekend and something we all needed! I hope we can do it again someday..
On the way home on Sunday our car battery was dead and Aimee got a flat tire! What a day, but it all got fixed thanks to the handy men!
