Father's Day

June 20, 2010

The original plan for father's day was to go out and do some canoe/geocaching, but the weather called for rain... in the end the rain didn't start until the afternoon, so we could have gone out. instead we just hung out in the yard and played games and relaxed.

starting off by getting gifts from the kids

christopher made a card

handprint tulips

sam about to give poppa some stuff

a nice card.

sam explaining the next craft

poppa smiles and enojys it.

the men are listening carefully to sam's long explanation.

... nope, it's for poppa!

 
a tie card...

what's a tie? ;)

one more...

the kids play a bit of argentine bocce

and they try their luck at horseshoes too.
