If your dad could go on a trip, where would he go?
Gracie: "All over the world."

I love my dad because....
Gracie: "he’s silly and loveable."
A-Nator: "he loves me. He takes care of me. Sometimes he cooks for me and reads to me."

Hmmm... Who's paying the Father's Day bill? ;)

And you thought he was all business.

We announce we're going to finish the Father's day celebration at Cold Stone Creamery. This is a rare treat for us. So we hear things like, "What? You're joking with us. You're pulling our leg" from the back seat.

Gracie licked the sprinkles off before I could capture the memory, but yummy ice cream with yummy treats mixed inside was enjoyed by all!

Unfortunately, we had to end the day saying goodbye to Daddy as he was on his way to Seattle... as A-Nator said, but we will fill the week with swimming lessons, free swim, art projects at the library and our summer reading club. However, the highlight will be seeing Daddy at the end of the week.
We love you DK!!
