Sunday night was my dad’s 60th birthday party at JoPa in Portland. His birthday is actually on April 23, but we had the party on April 15, so we could surprise him. And there were also scheduling conflicts, but that’s beside the point. This was the first time *ever* that we were able to surprise him for an event. He was genuinely taken aback and very happy that we all got together to celebrate this big milestone birthday.
Although I was snapping pictures of everyone all night, the nicest pictures were those of my dad and my little cousins. I did get a bunch of everyone else, but they didn’t turn out very well (blurry, misfocused, poorly composed, etc.). I think I was too busy chasing my cousins around or being chased by them. I’m just happy the shots with my dad turned out ok.
Pictured above is myself, my stepmom Shirley, my dad Danny Sr. (yes, I’m a junior), and my sister Debbie. This is one of those rare occasions where we actually got a photo of all four of us together at an event. And, yes, I was brave enough to hand my camera over to someone else to use (he happens to also have a D70, so I was ok with it).
You can see the complete set of photos in my Flickr photostream.
So is the dad of a poopoorama known as a poopoopapa?
