Retirement

Scott’s dad retired back in March – and in May, he had a retirement party at Dunton Park to celebrate.

We had lots of yummy food and lots of fun!

Our family and Jen/Paul’s family got Dad a pretty cool gift that we couldn’t wait for him to open (actually, we were afraid if we waited for him to open it, the kids would give it away…they were pretty excited about it!)….

We got him a scooter to bring up to the cottage so he could join the ranks with his other ‘croanies’ and be able to get to the marina or to get more bait or whatever else he might need to do…

We had the scooter just parked right in a spot by the pavillion where we were all set up and he had no idea about it, but the kids kept eyeing it up and were talking about it! 

we had him open his present – which was a box with the title and keys in it…

 

checking it out over in the parking lot…

Scotty filling him in on on the details….

first scooter ride! :)

…”bye grappy!”

and a race with great grandma and dylan on great grandma’s scooter! lol!   

we had a fun night all in honor of the hard work Dad put in over the years! He totally deserves this free time in retirement to do whatever he pleases!!!  :)

here he is on one of the first days of retirement; fishing in the channel…for some giant perch!
