We are having a surprise birthday party for my dad today. He turned 80 Thursday. He is preaching this morning and after the church service he thinks we are having a Valentine luncheon, but there is going to be around 180 people there for his party. Dad has been to Colorado hunting a bunch of times and it is one of his most favorite things to do, he has taken several mule deer, but he has always wanted to take an elk. For his present my sisters and I have booked an elk hunting trip this fall in New Mexico for him, my oldest sister and me. It will be the first time I have ever gotten to go out West and hunt with my Dad (I can't wait). We figured this has to be the year we do it, because 80 is no spring chicken.
