Father's Day Boat Ride
On Father's Day I took my dad out for breakfast and John and Shelly went out for a boat ride. It was a mellow day to start the summer off right.

Father's Day
I'm about a month late with this post, but wanted to be sure I added the photos.
John's family was in town for Father's Day and we had a fun little celebration on the deck that morning. John is definitely loved by his girls!!!

Dad Celebration
We presented John with his Father's Day gifts first thing in the morning...hence, the pjs, sleepy eyes, and messy hair on everyone. The girls got him several things they thought he might like (flip flops, shirt, bathing suit, golf glove).
In the afternoon, we went out for lunch/dinner at a local place for yummy hamburgers dining al fresco.
It was a nice day spending time with daddy-o.

My Two Favorite Dads
Happy Father's Day!
I am so happy to have such an amazing father. He has always been there for me through the ups, the downs, and all of the in between days. He's such a dedicated dad and a loving grandpa. I love him so much!
My other favorite dad is John! He loves his girls so much. Everything he does is motivated by his love for his daughters. I'm so grateful that I not only found a man who is a great husband but an awesome dad.

Fun on Father's Day
Father's Day morning started with cheese omelets and toast for John. After breakfast we presented John with his gifts.
The girls had definite ideas about what they were going to get him. Lily had a Super Hero theme and bought him the Ironman movie along with a coupon good for more movie time watching the other Super Heros together. She also got him a Super Pop cup filled with Pop its. Shelly (and I) made him 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies with 3 coupons for baked treats of his choice. She also got him cashews, root beer. and a cat shirt!
John's choice of activity for Father's Day was a trip to Mount Airy to do some cherry picking. We set out on our 1.5 hour trip and along the way it turned into a 2.5 hour trip. Once we hit the cherry orchard we were told there had been 800 people there already that day. So, that resulted in fewer cherries to pick. John climbed a ladder to get to the higher limbs on the trees and picked some cherries for us. Shelly and I also climbed the ladder while Lily secured the scene below holding the cherry bucket. We had lots of laughs about getting lost and climbing ladders for cherries. It made for a memorable day.
On our way home from the orchard we stopped at Dario-s and had a delicious lunch that ended with yummy shakes. It was a happy Father's Day for sure!

Terrific Dads
A big huge HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to my dad, today!
I am lucky enough to be blessed with a super father. As a little girl I loved hanging out with my dad and he was always so patient and willing to help me. As a teenager I took my dad's good advice to heart and tried to make the best decisions based on what he had taught me. And as an adult, my dad set the bar VERY high for other men in my life. By his example, I knew that I was looking for a guy who knew how to respect and love their wife.
Today, I still count on my dad for all of the above. It is a special man/father who raises three happy and well adjusted women and that is exactly what my dad did.
Love you, pop!

As I mentioned above, I was looking for just the right man and when I found him I just knew that he would be a great dad, too.
John is a funny, loving, and helpful father and our girls are so lucky to call him daddy.
Happy Father's Day to two of the best dads around!

VB Trip
We headed east to Virginia Beach for our niece's high school graduation. While we were there we also hit the beach, swam in grandpa's pool, did a little shopping, ate great food, had an adventure in Busch Gardens, and had lots of fun family time.
We were also fortunate to spend time with my dad on Father's Day. So thankful for my pop!!! He's one of the best!!!
And, also grateful to have such a super husband who is an exceptional father!
A little interesting side note: while at Busch Gardens, we went on the Roman Rapids ride (a wet one) and proceeded to ruin my phone and camera. Hence, the lack of photos of the second half of our VB visit! Ugh. Oh well, what's done is done, right???
