Daddy Day

Garry is leaving on a five-day business trip to North Carolina in the morning. We are not accustomed to his absence. This afternoon we decided a fun family activity was in order, and Daddy planned the whole thing.

The boys (Dad included) got dressed in their swim gear and splashed in the water fountains in front of the movie theater. Watching the boys romp and splash was delightful. This was Gavin's first experience with such a thing, and he seemed to have more fun than anyone.

I was the designated photographer, baby watcher, and pizza orderer. I fulfilled my roles with exactness and honor. And when I got hot, I got my feet wet.
















When the afternoon storm clouds brought a chill to the wet boys, we packed up and went home, stopping for ice cream on the way. Good times for all! Having so much fun with Daddy will only make us miss him more, but we're definitely glad for the good memories! Come back soon, Daddy-o!

Hey, we did something very similar yesterday! But there were a few key differences:

1. David isn't leaving on a business trip today, LUCKILY

2. David didn't come on our "family" fountain outing

3. There was a notable lack of an afternoon chill in our version!

I hope you guys survive and thrive through your first daddy-less week!

Looks like you had a great time! Hopefully it was enough to hold you over the next 5 days. Let me know if you need anything.

What a great idea! Looks like so much fun. I love the boys summer haircuts. Good luck while Garry's gone. Interested in having house guests while he's gone, let's say 6 kids and 2 adults? Just kidding!
