Happy Father's Day!

We just returned from California where we visited Legoland (so much fun!) and I'm working on that post, but for now here is one of my favorite pictures from the trip.
We kicked off Father's Day a little early by meeting Darren's parents, Shawn, Kim and the kids at Babes for dinner Saturday night. What's not to love about Babes? There's fried food, fluffy biscuits, loud atmosphere (so my kids fit right in) and dancing to boot!



Two of the dads being celebrated.
Every dinner should include the hokey-pokey. My favorite part of this picture is Elic's pout (on the far left).
Darren woke up to a few treats from his boys (and me). He loves rootbeer and I thought the tag was super cute.
Sprites with ties- perfect for our tie-riffic dad! The kids made him a coupon book and gave him an itunes gift card that they are hoping he'll use to buy more games for them to play on his phone.
Every holiday needs a banner and I think this is one of my all time favorites (such fun colors).
The main gift we got each of our favorite dads- Darren, Pops, Papaw and GranDan was this updated shot of the boys. This scanned version doesn't do it justice because it really turned out so cute. I think it shows each of their fun little personalities.
After church on Father's Day, we went to Uncle Shawn's house for a pizza lunch and some swimming.
Little Miss Autumn is quite the swimmer. She was giving my boys a few pointers on how to put your face in the water.
You really have to watch Holden because he has no fear of the water. He loves to jump in and sometimes even jumps when no one's there to catch him (YIKES!)

I realized after we got home that I didn't take one picture of Darren and all his boys. Sounds to me like we need another family photo shoot so I can take care of that! Darren, you are an amazing husband and father. Thank you for being such a Christ-like example everyday for all of us. Happy Father's Day!
