The first day was friday and just about everyone in the family showed!! We met out on Lake Folsom and had a blast with wakeboarding, kayaking, and tanning. It was beautiful sunny day!!!! 
That night we all went back to our house for some good food and fun games. We ate the "man of the hour's" (Dad's) favorite dish consisting of baby back beef ribs, corn on the cobb, salad and rice pilaf. We had paper airplanes flying from every which direction hanging from the ceiling.
Even Rylee was decorated, love the stickers on her back!!!!!
The little girls were all playing together and having a great time!!!
I was commander in charge with the games. We first went out front and everyone was given a styrafoam airplane to assemble. Everyone participated! We started at the "Launch Pad" and went in heats. The longest flight won little toy flying airplanes!!!! Congrats to Mat and Oma!!!! The only pilot in the croud (Dad...of course) was having a really hard time keeping his plane in the air and Jessica's just seemed to want to fly backwards, poor dears!!! 
We then went back in for a game of "Family Fued: Get to know the Retiree!!" I was Alexis Trabek!! We had questions that consisted of his very first job ever, favorite sayings growing up and how many hair colors!!! The winners of the game won "Hero Metals" for the brilliant display of valient answers!! Notice in this picture the display of Dad's old flying helmet from Vietnam and old and new pictures of the airplanes Dad flew. We also had out his journal from his mission to Chile. Great stuff to look at!!!
It was nothing short of fun!!! 
Our guts and cheeks were sore with laughter!!!!
Dad then opened a few gifts with one being from the kids. It was a DVD slide show montage of Dad's career and life. We then watched in awe. The music and pictures were great!!! Thanks to our tech gooroo, Jon!!!!
We then ate some yummy cake...right Oma, and had some hot fudge sundaes. We ALL actually had a great time!!
