Father's Day 2012

Father's Day this year was a very special day!  Jack and I worked hard to make it a great day for Daddy, and we believe we succeeded!

The week before, Mama Becky and Daddy Mer helped me take some pictures of Jack for a present for Daddy.  It was 3 different poses with 3 different signs to make "I Love Daddy".  He cooperated very well and the finished product was priceless!  When Kurt opened his presents on Father's Day we could tell he loved it!  We also gave him some other great gifts, but I think that was his favorite!

We started the day off by making Daddy breakfast in bed!  We made him cinnamon rolls and fresh cantaloupe, plus a real Coke, which is one of his favorites!  He loved it and we enjoyed the food, too!  He got to eat and open gifts in bed before it was time to get ready for church.

After church we went back home to change clothes so we could head out to Oak Mountain State Park which was Daddy's choice for "his day."  He has gotten on an outdoor kick lately, so we thought we'd all go out there as a family and have some fun.

We of course had to eat lunch first, so we went to Moe's (where else?), then headed out to the state park. We started off at the beach there so Jack could play and swim in the water, but since it was really crowded, we got back in the car and followed signs for Peavine Falls.  We are all fans of waterfalls, and knew it would be a little ways to walk, but we weren't prepared for how long and how many hills! Daddy and Jack did really well, but 28 weeks preggo over here didn't do that well, and even fell once!  Thank goodness I just fell backwards and not on the belly!  We thought it would all be worth it, but the falls had pretty much dried up (not joking), so after the long hike there, we had to just turn around and head back, and that was all uphill!  It was hard to explain why the waterfall wasn't there, so we just told him it was turned off!  We definitely had some good laughs and bonding time, but it took me several days to recover!

Once we were completely exhausted, we headed over to Papa and Sherbo's house for dinner.  We got there with enough daylight to still play a while, then we had a wonderful dinner and Papa got to open his gifts.

We had such a great day and even though it was exhausting for me, I'm glad we got to do that for Daddy and he seemed to have a great time, so that's all that matters!  We thank God everyday for such a wonderful husband and daddy in our lives! We love him so much!
