A Well Deserved Retirement Party

A couple weeks ago we had a surprise retirement party for Scott's dad. Kyle was in town & they (Scott's parents & Kyle) were planning on meeting us (Scott, Harley & I) for dinner at Mi Amigos. We were all hiding in this room, it was dark so they couldn't see. We watched as they walked past & went to get seated. We asked the waitress to go and grab them.

They walked in & the lights turned on and he was totally surprised!
It took him a little while to figure out what was going on. :)


We all enjoyed some yummy mexican food


All the gifts.

The whole gang.

Brian, Taya, Dan & Emily
Kyle, Beth, Dad & Mom
We showed a sideshow that Scott & I put together & also the video by Dan & Scott of a day in their dad's shoes.
Next, all the Washburn kids got up and told old stories about him.

Saying a few words
I love this picture of them...
Look how happy they are....she told the story of how he proposed.
It was such a great party.
Dad Washburn-We cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for our family alone. You are such a great example, you always put your family first. I don't know how we can ever repay you for what you have done & do for us. We love you!!
