Fun Father’s Day!!

So I’m not the best at posting blogs the SAME DAY that things happen. I’ll work on it.

Anyway, we had a wonderful Father’s Day!! I helped Adam ‘sign’ his name to Brian’s card. Then he proudly carried in the gifts we got for Brian. One of them is a large wall calendar that has a photo collage of Brian and Adam. It turned out pretty cute! We got showered and hit the road for the Pancake House! It was a beautiful morning, so we sat outside to eat. After our yummy (as always!) breakfast, we ran a bunch of errands….grocery store, target, gas/car wash, and of course a ‘bou stop!

We got home and the boys mowed the lawn while I worked on some chores inside the house. Adam went down for his nap after lunch, then Brian drove over by Farmington to pick out a couple of large trees to have transplanted to our yard! It will be SO great to have a couple larger trees back there to provide a little shade and a little privacy.

As soon as Adam woke up, we were off to the lake! We packed some sandwiches to eat on the boat and were so excited to get on the water on such a gorgeous day! We got the boat in the water and I heard Brian start the engine as I drove the truck out of the water and into a parking spot. When I got to the shore I was expecting to see Brian there waiting for me, but he looked stranded and was shaking his head. Crap. “I can’t steer it!” The motor would not turn via the steering wheel or manpower. One of Brian’s fishing buddies was also on the lake with his family. Brian called him and he cruised over to see if he could help fix it. Nope. So we loaded the boat back onto the trailer and I was completely bummed. Brian’s friend offered to take us on their boat for a while, so we were able to cruise around. Brian took Adam on the tube behind the boat. It didn’t work out too well, because the tube was tilted back so far.

Here they are when they’re done tubing: (My pic of them actually ON the tube didn’t load correctly)

We decided to head to the park in Chaska to have our picnic. We had also packed Adam’s fishing pole with the intent of letting him fish off the boat. So we ate in the park, then went fishing for sunnies. I think there were more there than the last time! We were feeding them Cheetos and it was amazing to watch a zillion fish swarm around one little Cheeto! I’ll post some pics:

Here are 3 groups around 3 Cheetos. They’re nuts!

After the park it was bath and bed for Adam and hanging out time for Mom and Dad. It really was a great day!!

I’d like to wish a Happy Father’s Day again to Brian and to my Dad! You guys are both so amazing and so loved!

On a completely different note and should probably be in its own entry…Yesterday the nurses authorized an open-ended strike. This doesn’t mean that a strike is going to happen right away, however I’m not all that optimistic that negotiations will go well on Thursday and that a strike will be the direction we will be headed. The two sides are not seeing eye to eye, so who knows how long this will all drag out! Lucky for me, I have a massage scheduled with Ben (he’s AWESOME!) tomorrow evening, so that will be fabulous!

Stay Tuned!
