Yeah, if it's someone he's worked with for three years, and known (even if casually) for a long time, I would definitely say he should go. But it seems a bit much for you to get off work for it, and I doubt the kids would get much out of it, though maybe they'd love a bonfire.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Prosecco then self-eval is totally the way to do it!
Sadly, it was the way to not do it. But maybe tonight?
flea, it sounds like your DH wants to go, but it doesn't make sense for all of you to go, esp if it means the kids missing an event that would mean more to them.
I agree with that. He should go, but the rest of you don't have to.
I won a dutch oven at work! I should stew something.
Sweet!
That picture is incredible.

I agree with this. It sounds like your DH should go, but it doesn't sound like there is any reason for you or the kids to be there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just heard Dr. Phil saying that he wished Robin Williams had called him. Arrogant, much?

Yeah, I know, and it wasn't like "It would have been my honor to attempt to help." More like if he had've, he would've.

BTW, my dad made it through surgery well. The dr, was really pleased, and though he was cranky this afternoon, the anesthetic hasn't made him confused or disoriented. Thanks for all the ~ma.
