Father's Day Weekend

Our Father's Day celebration started off with a wonderful gift from my mom to all the important dads in her life and their families: Admission and unlimited ride bracelets for the El Dorado County Fair. This was our second time attending, and again I really, really loved it. More down-home and intimate than the California State Fair, we enjoyed short lines for rides and food, which made more time for FUN!










































The next day was Father's Day and so we let Scott sleep in and the kids and I fixed him up a man (Erin) pleasing breakfast: Scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and english muffins.



After breakfast, the boys headed to the golf course...







We ended the day with some Samurai take-out. It was Harlie's first sushi experience. And she scarfed it down!



And finally, since Harlie was sick last week, on Tuesday she gave Scott the Father's Day gift that she had made at daycare.



It was a really wonderful weekend and a great way to kick-off summer!

  1. I love that your family is making a tradition of going to the El Dorado County Fair every year. Looks like such a good time and you're right, the fact that it is far less crowded and hectic than the State Fair is a definite plus.

    Love the picture of you and H in the bumper car. Both of your smiles could light up a room! And the pics of the kids playing in the grass are hysterical. In the first one, it looks like Mazzy is kicking Harlie down the hill! ;-) Another favorite is the one of H looking down on the world from way up high. Are you on a ferris wheel?

    Glad to hear Harlie enjoyed her first sushi experience. That girl is SUCH a good eater! Must be so satisfying for you. :)

    Fun post!

  2. Al, yeah we were on the ferris wheel. I wondered if the height would affect her, but it didn't at all. We had to keep her from climbing up and out...she wanted to go hang out with Max and Maz in the Creegs "car".

    Love the photo of Scott with his (almost grown) son. Very sweet of them playing golf... look into years to coem when Austin comems home to visit. :)

    Of, course H loves sushi....she's a rockstar in the eating worthy foods department. So fun!
