Father's Day

For Father's Day,

Dad Wanted to Go Boating;

Wish Granted

We Just Went Out

and Spent a RELAXING Evening

Chillin', Cruisin', and Groovin'

*

On Sunday Morning

Dad was Served Breakfast in Bed

with Sweet Drawings and Notes that Read:

"My Dad is Smart! He Even Knows Times Tables"

[8 yr. Old B]

and

"I Miss My Dad when He Goes to Work. I Wish He Would Stay Home. My Dad Loves to Play with Me. I Like it When he Plays Football with Me. I Love You"

[From 6yr. Old C]

We Tried to Give Dad the Royal Treatment

with Lots of His Favorites

and Notes and Posters Galore,

because We Wanted Him to Know that

The Dad at Our House

is Very

LOVED!

Conversation with 8 Yr. Old

[He had Earned Himself some Extra Chores Over the Weekend]

Me: Thanks for Getting Up and Doing Your Chores with a Good Attitude and No Complaining!

B: Well, I Did it for Two Reasons; 1) To Help You to Not be So Stressed and 2) Because You Could have taken My Friends away, but Instead, You just Gave Me Extra Chores

Me: Aw, Thanks. You Are Good Son. I Love You.

B: And You are a Good Mom. I Love You.

([Hugs])

What?
Did That just Happen at MY House?!
In REAL Life?!
Awesome.

Vacation

We Went on a Lil' Weekend Trip to Idaho.
We Met While Going to School there,
and Wanted to Introduce the Kids to the Campus,
and All the Glorious Stories and Places of How their Parents
Met and Fell in Love!
We Spent Time Playing at Parks,
Swimming at the Hotel (lots of Time, there!)
and Riding Scooters around the Falls in Idaho Falls.

We Spent a Sunny Day Here

Seeing These Guys

Riding Rides,

and Doing This

And,

Unfortunately,

One of them Got Eaten,

and Had to Stay Behind

What?

They Said We Could Feed the Bears

Soccer. Done. FINALLY.
