After a super-busy week last week, the kids and I spent Friday and Saturday in Mt. Airy, visiting with my dad for an early Father’s Day celebration (And giving Jason a little present-a couple of days with nothing to think about but playing golf!)
We had a great time seeing everyone, especially my step-sister Brie and her friends who were visiting for the week. We don’t get to see them very often.
Charlie and his cousin, Kellan, are “best buds.” They love playing together and just run to each other and hug when they get to see each other. Charlie now wants to move to Papa’s house so he can play with Kellan all of the time!
The kids rode up and down Daddy’s driveway a million times-they loved walking around the garden and through the vineyard.
Charlie and Kellan on their scooters. They were so funny pretending to wreck and help each other up!
We went up on Pilot Mountain on Saturday and had a picnic and walked around a little. This was extra special to us because we used to go up there all of the time when I was growing up, but I haven’t been in probably ten years. We would take lunch up there and walk around the knob. I haven’t taken the kids up there yet because I have honestly been too scared that they would fall off the mountain, but they are big enough now to have a little fear in them!
We had a great time. The only thing missing, according to my sisters, was a bucket of KFC fried chicken!
Here are some pictures from our day:
And can’t forget a picture of this wonderful daddy!
Spending some cuddle time with his Baby Girl on Father’s Day.
Grilling out some burgers in his new “Daddy since 2009” shirt.
Jason moved on to a new stage in his life-the kids are now picking out their presents for him! Don’t worry, he didn’t get a tacky tie-He got an iron man toothbrush from Charlie and a cow mug from Maddie.
Add in a couple of cookouts to celebrate Kitten and Ed, and we had a busy but good Father’s Day weekend. I hope you did, too!
