Daddy's Day!

We had a quiet Father's Day last weekend with just the four of us. All three Grandpas were busy, or busy recovering from a week of fishing. We tried our hardest to spoil the Daddy!

We started with donuts for breakfast; a hit with everyone except Colin. We also let Daddy open our present to him. Luckily, Uncle Al had called Colin and told him that Daddy needed a WiiZapper. So, we were happy to accommodate. Daddy loved it! After breakfast we headed out to the park to check out the game preserve and the playground. I asked Michael to take along the camera so we have some great playground shots.

Pretty girl on the slide!

It made her hair a little static-y!

Showing off her sliding skills too!

G also likes to bounce on this springy thing (not sure what you would call it):

Gillian cannot resist a serious face or two though!

And, Colin is not to be outdone!

He prefers to slide on his belly though.

He really likes to go up and down the stairs and across the shaky bridge!

PEEK!

And the obligatory "Daddy and Kids" picture that turned out as well as my Mother's Day photos.

After a fun morning in the park, we went home to cook hot dogs for lunch. Then a nap for the kids and a good round of video games for Daddy. I cooked up homemade pesto and pasta, and Michael grilled some awesome steaks for supper. The kids decided they would rather eat steak than tortellini for dinner! Buggers.

So, it was a really nice day for the bestest Daddy that we could ask for. We love him so much!

Fun with Friends

Since I've been off work for three weeks now, the kiddos and I have been having lots of fun and adventures. Last week we met my friend Beth and her little girl, Natalie, at Clever Road Park in Robinson Township. Beth and I work for the same company and she's also a speech therapist. We used to work in the same school. We saw each other 3 or 4 days a week for YEARS, then we had kids. Now we NEVER see each other. I miss her lots, so I was so happy that we could meet up. Natalie is almost exactly a year older than C&G, so she could show them some fun tricks!

Up we all go!

Winding down the fun with a break and a drink!

Despite having three busy younglings to keep an eye on, Beth and I did get to visit some. And best of all, Natalie shared with us that she is going to be a BIG SISTER in December! Yay! We hope to play together again this summer sometime!
