Happy Father's Day!

Loving the Dad

We celebrated Father's Day early --tonight-- by having dinner al fresco including homemade guacamole, tin-foil dinners on the grill, s'mores, and a cold rose wine (cream soda for Anna).

Anna decided we should go ahead and give Alex his present...squirt guns!!!  

Right before dinner we had filled up the wading pool, so it was the perfect spot to "re-load" the guns with ammunition.  

We all chased each other around the yard, as the fireflies dodged around the streams of water in the air.

What a great night.  

We're saving his card for tomorrow, and I can't wait to see him open it.  Here's a sneak peek.

In closing, I was looking for a quote about fatherhood, and I stumbled across this one which would seem more appropriate 6 months from now, but I love it so much I think it's good for any day, any season.  Here it is:

"There are three stages of a man's life:  He believes in Santa Claus, he doesn't believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus."  ~Author Unknown
