Father's Day Weekend

We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend with my parents + sister for Father's Day weekend.

Saturday morning I had a hair trim appointment, so Adam and dad went fishing. Mom and I took Chester for a walk. We narrowly escaped him getting attacked by a big dog (quick reaction on my part lifting him up by his leash and harness), so that had me freaked out all day.

In the afternoon, we took the pontoon out on the river. Unfortunately it was cool, windy and overcast, but we still had a nice time. 

That evening, we went out to The Freight House to celebrate Christine's belated birthday. Everyone else got the porterhouse, but I got crab legs. Delicious. It was fun. 


Christine even got a special birthday dessert!

At home, we watched Gravity which was laughably bad. Just wow. 

We had a low key Father's Day. For an early lunch, we all piled into mom's GTO convertible (I got to drive!) and headed down to the rootbeer stand. I hadn't been in years, and it was Adam's first time. 

We relaxed and dad opened his presents. 

Then we had an early dinner of dad's delicious grilled ribs. Adam the rib hater even liked them and wants to try to make them at home! I can hardly believe it. 

Before leaving, we had rhubarb crisp which I had made with fresh rhubarb from our garden. Yum. 

It was so special to be there with my dad on Father's Day - it doesn't happen very often!
