Daddy's Day

So every year I feel all this pressure to make Father's Day special for all the dads in our lives and it becomes stressful and I feel guilty for not going all out (like a surprise trip or something).  But then everything turns out fun and we get a weekend to enjoy family (what it's really all about).  On Saturday afternoon we went to the Weslings for dinner, swimming, and ice cream.  The girls had a blast in their new pool and the ice cream was even better!

Brooklynn finished first, so she could dig into everyone else's ice cream - smart girl!

On Sunday morning we met the Deegans and Startzels at Cherry Creek Reservoir for a beach day, well as close as we get here in Colorado to a beach.  The kids played so well together building sand castles, playing on the playground, and even making sand angels.  It's so neat to watch them get older and interact with each other so well.  Chandler tries so hard to be one of the "big kids" and she's almost there!

Our view of Chandler's wedgie all day!

Sunday afternoon was our celebration for dad at our house.  The girls were ecstatic to see cousin Kenz and play with her. 

My favorite pic - dad set this one up and the girls loved it!

After all the celebrations were over I was definitely exhausted - a whole day of diaper duty, cooking, and cleaning.  Oh well....at least it's only one day of the year!  Our dads all deserve a day to relax as a token of our appreciation.  Steve - you are an amazing daddy.  Even though I'm jealous you are the favorite I'm glad they love you so much!
