We really did have such a wonderful time with my dad when he came to visit us from CA the end of May. You would think 2 weeks is a long time, but my dad is seriously the most fabulous, hands-on, helpful "Grampy" there is. (For those who don't know, he was in MD when Cal was born 2 and a half weeks early, and he kept Sophie & Chason for the entire 2 days we were in the hospital. Seriously AMAZING!).
We certainly stayed busy while he was here. We had 3 birthday celebrations, including his own the day he arrived, of course we did Mall of America, Church picnic, lots of walks to the lake near our house, bonfire's out back. The kids LOVED to "jog" with him - when he's here he runs 7-9 miles every other day - Sophie actually went 2 miles with him! We went fishing, went shopping, played in the pool out back, went to the Zoo, went to a local baseball game and he even watched the kids over night so Nate & I could have a little 24 hour get-away! I am so grateful to the Lord for how he has grown and deepened our relationship with dad over the years. Fun times, great conversations and sweet memories made - thanks to his new bride Stephanie for giving him up for 2 weeks! We love you dad & thank God for the gift that you are to us! Here are some pictures from our adventures:
