Happy Dada's Day!

What a lovely weekend! Perhaps it was just our joy at being at home again. Perhaps it was the lovely (if slightly warm) weather. Perhaps it was that we didn't have lots of work, projects or deadlines hanging over our heads. Whatever it was, it was a lovely weekend. Friday night was a local festival where Holly got her first (temporary) tattoo. Yesterday, we went to the Farmer's Market and played in the backyard. Then we topped it all off by a nice Father's Day today. How did we spend the day?

• We woke up at 7:30am and Holly gave Tom her gift --- a new set of Lego Duplo blocks so they can build even MORE "duckies" out of blocks together.
  
• Then Tom made pancakes (hey- I offered - but I make terrible pancakes so he declined). We ate and then headed outside.
  
• Tom and Holly played in the sandbox while I cleaned up the kitchen.
  
• Then Tom mowed the lawn/whacked weeds while Holly and I colored.
  
• Then Tom and Holly played the piano while I pulled weeds. Sense a theme? We've been away for a while and we have a huge yard.
  
• Then after cleaning up, we went out for lunch at one of Tom's favorite places--- Chipotle.
  
• Holly went down for her nap then Tom headed out for kayaking fun with some friends.
• When she woke up, we hit the backyard pool until the mosquitoes chased us back inside.
  
• Tom came back muddy and happy. We BBQ'ed with our friend Sam (grilled corn and fresh watermelon were the highlights) until the sun set.

Now it's bedtime. Or will be sometime soon if Holly ever consents to go to sleep again. I can imagine if I were her that sleeping every day would be very hard. Every day a new adventure. Every day new experiences. Night-night, baby...
