Father's Day Fun

Father's Day started in the sandbox, like most weekends do around here these days.
The boys building sandcastles and kicking dirt around!



From the sandbox to the sprinklers and hose. On a day when it was supposed to be 110 it's about the only relief we could find!







Carlos considered leaving town on a road trip on his motorcycle to the mountains. But, decided he'd stay close to home. We're glad he did.

I made reservations for Flemming's steak house and thought that might be a yummy meal without any work. But, in the 11th hour Carlos put in a special request for my Pan-Seared Pork with Spicy Citrus Sauce.



How could I say no? And as a special treat...Landon happily watched a movie while Carlos and I enjoyed an adult dinner and a meal so good, I know Carlos was tempted to lick his plate!



But, also part of that dinner included a trip recalling memories of our fathers. Carlos remembers his father bringing home his first little motorcycle when he was about 7 years old. He says he saw him carry it up two flights of stairs. I remember sitting by the stereo on Saturday afternoons listening to records for hours! Linda Ronstadt, Barry Manilow, Willy Nelson and Kenny Rogers! Ha! And I remember he rarely if ever missed a softball game. Sweet time. Times we still remember decades later! Happy Father's Day!
