Happy 70th Dad!

Tomorrow is my Dad's 70th Birthday! We are all tied up with our Relay for Life event this weekend, so I just wanted to do a quick "shout out" post to my awesome Dad. He is a great example to all of his six kids about leading a good life, taking care of family, and working hard. My kids adore their Grandpa, who always makes them laugh and takes extra time to do the little things with them, like play on the piano, playing outside, walking the dogs, and just chatting about all the goings-on of their busy little lives.
My dad my mom are amazing, as they stay busy in retirement volunteering at the Red Cross and the Oakland Parks and Rec, taking piano and other courses at the local JC, traveling, kayaking, and running marathons. We thought we'd add to his busy schedule, by getting him a new bar for his backyard patio- so now he can perfect his already amazing bartending skills!
We love you, Dad! Here are a few pictures from his surprise Birthday celebration in Oakland last weekend:
