Happy Father's Day Dads!

Dad. Hero. Father. Friend. Strength. Loving. Relaxed. Foundation. Fun. Just a few words to describe my dad. What a special time it is to celebrate all that our father's have done for us. Saturday night we went over to my parents house after having quite an eventful morning, which I won't get into. Carrie made a yummy brisket and dessert, Grace made the potatoes, and mom covered everything in between. We had a fun, relaxing evening sitting around talking, playing games, and enjoying each others company. Some of the fondest memories I have with my dad include... And, please keep in mind, this is VERY few of MANY!

• Throwing around the Frisbee or paddle ball in the evenings at the beach
• Playing in the pool in the summers
• Fishing at the Brown's in Salisbury
• Going to Hershey Bear games
• Chewing bubble gum under the tree and telling dad about my week
• Sitting at the top of the neighborhood waiting for the bus to come
• Decorating birthday cakes for my dad
• Dancing at my wedding and crying like a baby!
• Having my dad tuck me (and Curious George) in at night
• Going to the Orioles baseball game with my two sisters and dad
• Dad reading Twas the Night Before Christmas every Christmas Eve
• Dad's hugs
• Date nights...rotating with Dad and Mom
• Pulling the weeds to surprise him
• Waiting at the top of the neighborhood with Carrie for dad to get home from work
• Going to Pine View Acres with the family
• Swimming far out into the ocean and getting toppled over by a wave (okay, it was far for me)
• Sunday trips down to Baltimore after church
• I could go on and on and on, but again, that's a few...

Love you Dad! And, Happy Father's Day to my brother-in-law Jeff who is soon to be a daddy also!
