Father's Day Traditions

As it is with most celebrations...we do it up right in our family. We celebrated this year with the traditional Father's Day...


PINATA!

You got it...a pinata...and a tough one at that. Each kid got an attempt with a small stick...pinata didn't even crack. Then the kids got a bat! Still nothing...so Uncle Cole got volunteered to split the pinata...and boy did he do a good job. He took the head right off of that thing. The kids (and adults) scrambled for the candy from the Father's Day Pinata! :)






To tell the real story...we celebrated Father's Day this year with Gramps (my mom's dad) and the rest of our fun lovin' family. We traveled to see my cousin's new house and the kids were super excited to get to see Cousin Ethan. It was an incredibly HOT day, so the kids enjoyed a little swimming and splashing. Even Owen got in for a turn!


We ate a great meal and it was good getting to visit with everyone. Aunt Vicki got the pinata for the kids' entertainment...but it got a laugh from all of us.













To all the Father's in our life...I hope you had a wonderful day! We Love You!

I don't know what it is lately, but those pictures of Owen are just about to do me in! I LOVE the pic of him and Rich and the last one of him in the swing. Maybe it is because he is not "baby" Owen anymore and is such a little man now!

It was a wonderful day, and it was great to get to see the whole family. Not to mention those ribs were awesome!
