Father's Day 2014

We went to my Dad's for Father's Day weekend and, of course, had a wonderful time!

Sherry patiently listened to Clyde read a Plants vs Zombies; Pick Your Own Ending book for quite sometime!  He did look awfully snuggly!!

When we went outside into Grandmom and Grandad's fabulous wilderness, Clydie borrowed my camera.

Stephen let him practice using a knife some...

Grandmom in a ballcap!!  I hear she used to play softball... we got a little glimpse :)

Iris's favorite thing was to have one of us hold the end of a rope which was tied to a skateboard and let her slowly glide down the driveway.  Here she is at the end of one such ride...

Lucy tries her hand at some whittling.

Grandmom lets them each make a sheet full of cookies "for the fathers."   Course we all ate them.


We did the official Father's Day stuff Saturday afternoon :)

Here's Grandad after reading Lucy's card.  The two of them share quite a memory.  When she was just a little shrimp of a girl, Grandad took her fishing down at the pond.  She fell in and of course he went in after her.  And it wasn't the cleanest water in the world.  He kids her about it quite a bit, and I think he was a tiny bit surprised that she depicted the scene in her card :)

Later, Lucy turns their livingroom into a gameboard...

Here's everyone standing on the starting place.  Notice Grandad smiling back there while eating his Father's Day pie.  His job is to roll the dice for everyone so they can move forward.

We had a really wonderful weekend!  Always great to hang out with Sherry, Dad and Janet!!
