A Spontaneous Suprise

Last Friday I called my Dad on his birthday, only to find out that the whole family was at his house for the weekend, including my step-mom Marilyn's six kids and spouses. It was quite a house-full and I was sad to not be there. When Steven got home from work he suggested we drive through the night to go see everyone and bonus, surprise my Dad for his birthday.

We arrived the next morning at 7 am and crept in the back door and found my Dad working in the basement. He looked at Steven thinking, "Oh good you guys are up..." then took a second look and said, "What are you guys doing here!?" He was so excited to see us and it was pretty fun surprise him like that.

We had a good weekend and a great spontaneous road-trip. The only pic I ended up taking was of the new overpass they are building at the Hoover Dam. Boring, I know...

That's fun! We surprised Al's parents our first Christmas--the only time the whole family has been together since! I like your pic, but it seems like they haven't made too much progress since we were last there like 5 years ago-hmm maybe it's just a different spot than I'm remembering
