Summer Weekend Warriors 6/16 - Celebrating Dad

This weekend was another full one. Friday night we were able to take Husband and my father-in-law out for dinner to a new Chinese buffet that we have come to like. Brandon was also able to come, so it was some really great family time.

Lucy is thrilled anytime her big brother is around!

Couldn't resist the opportunity to snap this 3-generation pic.

Saturday we headed south of the metro for a graduation party for the daughter of some friends. They recently built a house on an acreage, so it was fun to see how everything turned out. Lucy was enthralled by their two cats and of course, wanted to follow the dog around everywhere. It was a nice afternoon with great people, and it felt good to step out of the city for a bit.

Sunday of course, was Father's Day. Lucy and I took Husband out to lunch, and later in the afternoon we went wading in Minnehaha Creek and then had Dairy Queen. We sat on a bench to eat our ice cream, but then had to run to the car because it starting pouring! It was a little adventure. Lucy loved walking in the creek with Daddy.

Might have to find a frame for this one!

Lucy always finds time to give love to her Daddy.

Lucy and I made supper for Husband and gave him some gifts, including this special piece of art Lucy made.

"Daddy...these are the hands you held when I was 3 years old."

Parties, creek wading, ice cream, thunderstorms. Summer, summer, summer!
