My sweet dad. We celebrated today with all things delicious. I made blueberry bread pudding for breakfast, and we ended the day with HalBQ tri tip for dinner and some homemade “Burton’s creamery” style ice cream cones. Strawberry ice cream rolled in fruity pebbles, or chocolate ice cream with caramel sauce and rolled in crushed pretzels. Yum.
The dads had to “go fishing” for their Father’s Day gifts. We set up a blue plastic curtain fishing pond and they threw a rod over the curtain carnival style for a treat. We gave Aaron a workout shirt that he told me he wanted, and Grandpa fished out an exact replica of his London souvenir hat! He was shocked. He lost his prized hat over spring break when we walked out onto a pier in Destin, Florida, and a gust of wind lifted it right off his head and out to sea in the Gulf of Mexico. He was super thrilled and surprised to “fish” out a new one. After the men fished, the kids each took a turn and fished for a piece of candy because Grandma always has smarties in her purse.

I love you dad! Your greatest qualities are the way you love our mother and take pride in your children. I hear many say they spent their childhoods just trying to measure up and meet expectations. I never doubted I was “good enough” for you and I thank you and mom for loving us well.
