He has been fighting it for years, he even stayed 50 for 10 or so years, but some how dad has made it to 70 years old today.
During all those years, he has had a lot of adventures and has enjoyed most of them with the people pictured above. He is a proud parent of 6 kids, 20.8 grand children and one (hard to believe someone so young) great grand child.
Some times those kids and grand kids have pulled a face or two, but he is has put up with us and kept taking us along on his adventurous life.
Dad has climbed mountains with us (a few times even paid someone to make sure we were being safe). Taught most of us to fish, ride a bike, drive a car (some of us did not wait for our first lesson, that was a lesson for those younger to wait).
It is hard to beleive that you are 70, but based on the number on last years cake, you must be 70 this year.
Dad and mom are on to the big adventure that retirement will bring, and that they are really enjoying. I am very grateful to have
a dad like you!!!
What a cute picture to end this post on.... Happy birthday dad, I Love you and look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing the memories Mike. I started celebrating this morning by playing golf albeit in a driving rain storm and almost froze but I did make one birdie putt and will long remember the experience. I have enjoyed the family outings including climbing mountains, water skiing, snow skiing, fishing, going to exiting places; like Mexico and lots more. I have anticipated this birthday more than any other, not so much because it's a big milestone turning 70 but that I’m healthy and still feel so young. The other day I asked for a senior discount and when the person serving me gave me a questioning look; it was satisfying. Thanks again for the post; it’s always nice to be remembered, especially on your birthday!
Love you too,
Dad
Happy birthday dad. We are lucky to have you!! We look forward to many more fun adventures with you.
That is a great post Mike!
Happy Birthday Dad!
Happy Birthday Dad glad your are out golfing are you going to shoot your age this year?
Yes because I'm going to find a course that will allow that. Like a par 65 that's less that 6000 yards in length. I'll keep you posted.
Dad
Happy Happy Birthday!
A wonderful post Michael. I'm so glad that you do these for our family's birthdays. I feel especially blessed to be married to your dad--he's a keeper!
happy birthday dad .. it was awesome to talk to you yesterday. i'm with the server. if you want me to believe you're 70 you can darn well prove it with a government issued ID.
