Happy 60th Birthday, Dad!

First of all, I've got to get some better pictures of my dad. This is embarassing.
- My dad is the greatest outdoorsman you'll ever meet.
- My dad is the best cook. Seriously!
- My dad can build anything out of wood.
- My dad is hilarious.
- My dad is super smart and has an awesome vocabulary.
- My dad is a great grandpa.
- My dad is always so proud of our accomplishments, be they big or small.
- My dad is a collector of many things.
- My dad loves to work in the temple.
- My dad was and is a great missionary.
- My dad is a great scouter.
- My dad is very sentimental. He recently gave me his journal where he recorded that they found out they were expecting me. I love that he saves things like that.
My favorite childhood memory of my dad was when I had to do this seed proect in the 2nd grade. He took me out around our house and we collected dozens of seeds. We had to make a poster out of them. When dad and I got done, I had a poster board full of seeds. It was huge. I went to school with my poster and saw that most kids had only come up with an 8.5X11 sheet of paper as their poster. I clearly remember thinking, "where were their dads?" I love my dad!
