Happy Father's Day

Well I am a little late again, but things have been a bit crazy around here. Some friends from Findlay moved to our town and I watched their kids a couple of days, so that made for 6 kids running around my house. Ugh!
We had a wonderful Father's day weekend. My parents got to come up and visit us. They got in Thurs evening just in time for the girls swim lessons. They were very proud of the girls. The kids wanted to roast hot dogs for dinner and have s'mores. So we put a fire in the fire pit and the adults got Mexican. :) Friday morning Trav had to go to work. Dad, the L-man, Zia, and I went to Mc Donald's for breakfast and then shopping for fishing poles and a fishing license. The kids started practicing how to cast. Trav took the afternoon off and met us at The Henry Ford museum. We took the Roush Factory Tour. It was pretty neat and then spent some time at the museum. We grabbed a quick pizza and then headed out to the river to do some fishing. We didn't have any luck at the river so we went over to a little pond at the park. We did see some fish eating our worms but didn't catch anything. We fished until it was dark at 9:30 p.m. So we had a very full day.
Sat. morning we went canoeing down the river and had a late lunch. After lunch a replica of a tall sailing ship from the 1812 war was in port so we went and checked it out. A Coast Guard Cutter was also in port so we got to tour it too. After we got back home we were all hot, sweaty, and tired. We all took showers and Mom and Dad took the three kids to the movies and Trav and I got to go on a date. I really can't remember the last date we had. Isn't that sad. We went to see Ocean's 13. It was good. I hadn't seen either of the other two, so I don't know how it compares.

Mom and Dad had to leave Sun. morning and we headed to church. I am always sad when our company leaves. :( Here are a few pictures of the weekend. Happy Belated Father's Day!
