Father's Day

Please excuse my tardiness in wishing all of the dads out there a Happy Father's Day.  My family spent much of our beautiful weekend outside celebrating our family, so I wasn't near a computer to share blessings with you timely.  My gratitude to all fathers out there, is no less heart felt in my belated thanks for all you do every day.

Here's a look at some of the things we did together to celebrate and the signs that were part our fun:

We started our weekend off right away on Friday evening.  Instead of returning home from daycare, we detoured to have a picnic and play at a local park.  After that, we attended a city ice-cream social where we ate some treats, listened to some music, and got to check out a couple fire trucks and see how the fire hoses/hydrants work! (WATER, ICE CREAM, MUSIC, DOG)

We spent one morning at the local zoo.  We go to the zoo pretty frequently because it's something we all enjoy.  I especially like the fact that the experience, while familiar, is different each and every time. 

During this visit, Mr. L. came nose to nose with a snow leopard (through glass, of course!), we saw lots of sun-bathing animals, visited the petting zoo, and even climbed a pirate ship. (CAT, BUTTERFLY, TRAIN, GOAT, BIRD)

On Sunday, we went to church then visited Grandpa for lunch.  After a nap in the car, we went for a walk in the woods.  After that we went home for a spaghetti dinner and a chance to unwind from our busy weekend!  

What fun things did you do to take advantage of the beautiful weather last weekend?
