The Hawaii 5-0 Post

Dad’s 50th Birthday Party was a blast. We spent the better part of the day getting everything finalized in the back yard. I am kicking myself for having to leave the day after it’s finally completed. It’s looking awesome back there. The tiki/pirate theme is a strange one in theory, but works really well. I’ll post pictures as soon as I have internet access at a computer that will let me. We had a great time, and I know Dad enjoyed himself. Stefan and I were bartending, which went well. Initially we got backed up, what with everyone arriving a the same time and us not really knowing the drinks we were making, but we got into the swing of things fast enough. Aunty Lel came over from Scotland and was able to make the party, plus Ali and Bob were there, which was terrific as it gave me a chance to hang out with them one last time before heading south. Paul stopped in too which was awesome and kept us company up at the bar. The hula dancing went over well, and Samantha had a blast. She was in from WVU for the weekend too, which marks the first time the whole family had been together in a good while.
