First Father's Day of Many

It was a weekend of celebrating Dad in our home.
Saturday started with a nice drive with the family to visit a friend's new studio opening, then it was off to gather some yummy lunch fixings for our picnic lunch. We were going to head to the beach but decided against it as it was a beautiful sunny day and wanted a little more quiet and privacy than we anticipated at on the busiest beaches in the area. So we headed towards a quieter park nearer to home but detoured yet again when we spotted a local school grounds with picnic tables, a playground and trees to shade our little Jackson. And did I mention that there was not one person at the school that afternoon, just perfect for our little luncheon in the sun.
That was the start of spending some great gratitude time with Daddy.
Of course he was off to work that evening so we picked up the celebrations this morning with a hearty breakfast for Dad. That was after he slept in an extra hour or so thanks to our little man who must have known it was Father's day as he didn't wake until about 9am. What a great gift to both Daddy & Mommy! Check out Jackson's homemade card for Daddy and as he helps open his gifts for Dad. He can't wait to get that crinkly paper of those packages. And did you notice we used newspaper and jute twine to wrap our gifts this year. We are trying to limit the use of excess wrapping materials when we can ie. reused gift bags or alternate wrapping methods.
After a quick clean up in the kitchen of all the morning food, it was time to prepare lunch with Grandpa & Grandma Schaffrick. We were off to celebrate both Father's Day and Jill's birthday. Yummy ribs and roasted root vegetables with a side of two salads. Delish! Then some play time in the backyard with cousin Travis before was off to work again. We made some great memories this weekend of Daddy's first Father's Day.
