Take me back to the 1960's

We went to Dennis' Uncle Lynn's birthday party last night. He is now a very young 60 years old. In the spirit of turning 60, everyone was asked to dress like people did in the 1960's. Dennis had a great idea for us to dress like Darin and Samantha Stevens from the TV series 'Bewitched'. It was a great idea but I definitely do not have time to shop for a suit and dress. Plus, I have never mastered how to twinkle my nose they way she did! :) So we went hippie style...which seemed to fit in with what everyone else was wearing!

Here are the hippie boys, Logen and Colin, before we left for the party.

When we got there there was quite the party going on. The food table was about 12 feet long with all kinds of goodies.

Here is the birthday man himself, Uncle Lynn (on the left) with his nephew Terry looking like some true hippies. Uncle Lynn may have had some experience with this look, it looks natural on him.

There was a DJ "spinning" some songs, 60's style. The DJ was such a nice guy. Colin made his way over to where he was working and when I went to get him, the DJ told me not to worry about it. He taught Colin how to spin the turntable. By the end of the night I felt like I owed him a great big tip for being so nice and patient with Colin.

Dennis and I tried our hand at the hippie look also.

Logen and his cousin, Kandace (Uncle Lynn's daughter), had a great time hanging out together. They both make great hippies!

By the time it got dark everyone was in a dancing mood, well almost everyone. Colin was a hit with the ladies and had all of them dancing with him. Logen was out on the dance floor having a great time and even taught a few people the "moonwalk". Logen wearing the wig and Colin dancing with his new friend!

Someone had the great idea NOT to try to put 60 candles on the cake....the fire department would have had to been called for sure! ;o)

The party was great fun. We saw lots of family and a few friends that we had not seen in quite awhile.

Here's to 60 more, Uncle Lynn!
