Dad's 60th Birthday

On the 26th November 1950 Dad was born. So in 2010 he turned 60!  I thought my Dad would always be young, fit and full of energy! And I guess for 60 he is still young, fit and full of energy!!! 

He celebrated by going out for a feast at the Casino on Friday night with some friends and then on Saturday some of the family got together for a BBQ on Bruny Island.  The kids were almost as excited to give their presents to Grandad as he was to get them! 



Nan as always cooked up the yummiest desserts and treats! YUM - I really want one now!



The kids had a good time playing around the shack and then before the party started we took them down to the beach for a walk - the weather was perfect!





I love this place. I'll let the pictures tell the story....














Dad of course cooked his only birthday lunch! Gave a little unprepared speech and cut his cake! I think he really enjoyed celebrating his 60th on Bruny.


There was plenty to keep the kids entertained so it was quite relaxing. Emily loved Bills Dogs - Trixy, Coco and Sparks. I think Sparks was her favourite!

If only Kobe and Jesse were here to be in this picture - then it would be perfect! Happy 60th Grandad!
