Dad's "Surprise" Birthday Party

Well, It wasn't really a surprise. He found out when he got home. Oh well, we still had a good time.

Dad, Abigail, & Kaleb after they blew out the candles.

The "tech" team. We put together a slide show for Dad.

The Sluss Family Singers wrote a song for Dad. Here is the song...

ENJOY!

Happy 50th Birthday Song
Verse 1
Born way back in ’56, started working for his dad every night and day
And he never missed one minute of livin’, worryin’ ‘ bout the way things might have been
Big wheels keep on turnin’, Birthdays started comin’
Older, Older, he started gettin’ older.
Verse 2
Worked a lot or days in Detroit, started a few fights around 8 mile
Detroit ain’t got no good side of the city, so he hitched a ride on back down south
4 wheels keep on turnin’, Every day he kept on learnin’,
Rollin’, Rollin’, Rollin’ on life’s highway
Verse 3
Worked a lot of horses at Pine knob, There was Howie barrs and Jett’s pay day
Kids went off to college, moved into the city, he wondered why his hair was turning gray
Dooly wheels keep on turnin’, His family keeps on growin’
Older, older , he’s really getting older
Verse 4
If you come down to the farm now, bet you are gonna find some grandkids there.
Swimmin’ and a laughin’ runnin’ and a ridin’
Pops will be the one with the biggest grin
Mule wheels keep on turnin’, Babies they keep comin’
It’s official, official, he’s over the hill
Over, over, over the hill…
