Father's Day 2014

Seth's dad decided that he didn't want to be celebrated on Father's Day anymore (wants his sons, who are dads, to be the celebrated ones), so instead of spending the day with the whole family at Kim and David's eating burgers and the like, we had the whole day to spend just the four of us! It was nice and mirrored Mother's Day quite a bit. We went to church, got groceries and ate lunch at home. Afterwards, we got dressed to go spend the day at Randol Mill--Seth's request!

We found out about this place because Seth had taken Austin to a birthday party there several years ago when it was hot and I was pregnant with Graham. The boy was from swim class and I can't remember his name, now! Anyways, it was good that Seth went to that party because he's talked about it ever since and how much fun he had (Seth has been talking about it, not Austin). After swimming all day (Seth was free because it was Father's Day!), we got ice cream before heading home. The boys totally conked out on the ride home and it was time for dinner, baths, and bed when we got home. A perfectly lovely day! (except for that sunburn I got due to poor reapplication!) I don't have any pictures of the water time, because we have our hands full enough keeping them from drowning, there's no chance of getting pictures. (The link I posted has some good ones, though!)

Here are some pictures from our Father's Day.

Yellow are from this year; will keep adding on behind to show growth.

"This one's Graham's."

The boys "got" Seth a book. Seth is always reading a book before bed and I liked the retro-ness of this one. Although none of the daddies in the book are "improving processes and making sure pants ship on time and under budget." ;-)

We gave him a bunch of his 'fancy' shaving stuff and a gift certificate to get a professional shave, which is something he's been wanting for a while.

Enjoying ice cream after a day of swimming...

Note for next time: don't splurge on Dilly bars. Too much hassle and not worth the cost.

The boys were totally passed out within minutes and stayed that way the whole ride home.

I love how his arm is curled up behind!
