I had an awesome Father's Day yesterday. In the morning Lori gave me a new cookbook, and Megan gave me a hand crafted beer can holder. Then we went out to a nice breakfast and came back so that I could start fixings for dinner.
Around two o'clock Dru, Charlene, and their kids; Sierra, Aiden and Kennedy, came by. We all went to the pool and had a fantastic time since we had it all to ourselves. When we got back to the house Sierra helped me make pizza, while the rest of the kids ran themselves ragged in frenzied fun. Dinner was great, and I made some brownies (with help from the kids) to augment Charlene's pumpkin muffins.
At the end of the night all of were beat, but very happy. Sierra was really intent on getting together again, which to me is proof positive that the whole day was a winner. I think she really enjoyed reading to Megan who sat by her enthralled as she read book after book.
The hilight of the night was when all of the kids put together a band with drums and a microphone, then Megan chimed in with a harmonica that made Oso howl incessently. It was absolute sonic chaos, but it was wonderful to seem them really enjoying themselves.
