Happy Father's Day

We had a GREAT weekend. On Friday night, we went to the Feed Mill (Lucas: "the restaurant with corn dogs and a big buffalo") for dinner with Tony and Kay. Then on Saturday, I made my first big outing with the boys alone. This is something that I have avoided like the plague and have been very fortunate up to this point to be able to put off. Maybe I've been gun shy too long because we had a wonderful time.

We started at Donut Bank for breakfast, then went to Target, Sears, and finished up at Eastland Mall for playground time, lunch, and a merry go round ride. The boys did great and we had a nice time. Our outing allowed Andy to have some much needed alone time at home. He used this time to setup the new Apple TV that the boys got him for Father's Day. The boys took a long nap and woke up ready to snuggle with Daddy and watch some Fraggle Rock. Andy made a great dinner and we had peach smoothies for dessert.

On Sunday, we were awaken by storms and found out later in the day that the lighting took out our router and network, including the new Apple TV. (So this part of the weekend wasn't real great, but the rest overshadowed this challenge.) We went to Dad and Eileen's for an afternoon swim, playground time, and a great dinner. The boys helped Papaw open his gift, and Andy received his traditional Father's Day tie and matching shirt. Adam even played baseball with Papaw for the first time and made contact with the ball all on his own several times and regularly with Mom's help. Lucas swam until the cold water turned his lips purple and he started shivering uncontrollably. It was a great time spent with Andy, my Dad, and Tony celebrating Father's Day.

It's a weedeater Papaw!!

Swing!
