Father's Day Weekend 2013 was great fun. Amanda, Peyton and Garrison arrived early Saturday morning to celebrate the day with us - including Great Grandma Mintun who was already at our house when they arrived. We started the day by playing outside (slide, t-ball, etc.) and looking for frogs at the pond across the street at the 17th teebox. We had fun playing downstairs - dress up - pretend play with tea cups, etc. before a quick and light lunch followed by homemade ice cream. Peyton enjoyed helping Grammy serve. While Garrison, Grandpa and Grammaw took a nap, Amanda, Peyton and Grammy went to Walmart. Then Peyton and Grammaw put together 5 puzzles. We had planned to play in the wading pool in the backyard when Garrison woke up, however, the rainstorm took over which cancelled those plans! Garrison enjoyed riding Harvey (the rocking horse). We had a delicious dinner of bacon wrapped chicken, mashed potatoes, etc. and more homemade ice cream before the Todds headed for home. Overland Park had a stronger storm, causing their electricity to go out, but Chad assured them it was back on before they took off. The painting the kids made Grandpa summed it up - The Best Dads are Promoted to Grandpa.
On Father's Day, we went to church before picking up Grammaw and traveling to the Lake of the Ozarks to Mark and Mary's condo for a father's day fish fry. Tom was also there for the weekend, and it was nice to visit with all of them. Mary fixed a fantastic meal of fish, honeymoon potatoes, slaw and cornbread. Grammaw had fixed a lemon pie for the meal, and I made Mark his favorite chocolate sheet cake. Brent (condo friend and neighbor) joined us, and we had a great day.
Peyton took the picture of Grammy and Amanda - pretty good job!
