Father's Day weekend was pretty much perfect.  It was busy and sometimes crazy, but it was full of the best kind of activity: time together.

We kicked off the weekend with the Meridian Dairy Days parade. (and I only took one picture!)

This was Cannon's first parade.  He seemed a little confused at first, but once we told him they were going to be throwing candy out, he was all over it.  As usual, the boys bickered their fair share and they got upset when the candy distribution wasn't even, but overall, we had a great time.   The music, horses and candy were the highlights of the evening.

We did some things around the house on Saturday and went to dinner at Famous Dave's, Eric's choice of course.

On Father's Day we headed to Eagle Island for some fun in the sun.  The adults hung out on the beach area while the boys played in the water and sand.

The guys tried to do a little fishing, but there were too many people around so it wasn't the best conditions.



Charlie wasn't as into playing in the water as much as he was into "relaxing".  He does NOT like to be splashed on so he would freak out a little when the rambunctious kids got too close.  He was perfectly content chilling out on this float tube.

On Monday we took the boys to the zoo.  We got there right after they opened and it was perfect because it was not very busy and the weather was awesome.

Awe, he looks so young.  Mr. Charlie just keeps growing up on us!

It really was a great weekend.  Now that I am working I find that I am appreciating these times even more than before.  I am happy for the reminder that we are so very blessed.
