We went picking strawberries, snap peas and lettuce at a farm.

I love his smile.

We played at the park late on the longest day of the year. You can see the light and the moon.

Father's Day 2013

Had a great day. Went to breakfast and talked about how my various fathers have been important to me.

My boys gave me some cards. Andres made a personal one. The ones below were jokey ones, and I think it's great they joke around with me.

 

 

 

We went for a hike and then saw Epic, which was a good combo of green and nature. 

 

Bug we saw on hike. The boys have great eyes, they see all sorts of cool things.

 

The comic book store was closed so I couldn't buy them a comic. Then we went to Dani's and got a slice. It was the most wonderful father's day ever. My boys make me so proud in how they are developing. Of course they're a work in progress, and they need to tighten up a few things and they have so much to learn, but I'm just so so so proud of them. I love them so very much.

Hiking and camping

So we had a good weekend camping. We set up the tent in the dark Friday night. Poor Cori didn't sleep well the first night. Saturday she made pancakes for breakfast. We went for a hike up Cobble Mt., and the boys did really well. They're getting older, they don't stop after about 10 steps, and they enjoying hopping from rock to rock. Andres runs around a lot. They didn't want to stay at the top looking out for as long as we did.

Back at camp we had lunch and napped some. We played soccer and at one point I twisted my ankle, I heard a loud pop. Cori was out buying more firewood, so when she came back she was scared, she saw the look of worry in the boys eyes. The boys were scared when I was in pain. But I iced it and took some Advil.

It was sore in the morning, but we went to Kent Falls and I hiked a bit there. Since it was raining we took down the tent, and headed home. I got a ankle brace after I dropped the boys off at Diana's. Cliff says just elevate, take an ani-inflamitory, use a brace and try to keep off it, which I'll do. I don't have insurance for another two months, hopefully it will just get better. Poor Andres blamed himself, but I keep telling him it's nobody's fault, it was just an accident.

We were all really tired, so it must have been a good trip. I went to bed at 7, woke up at 6.

basketball

The above photo is a shot of Andres playing center, and William on the bench. They both played, took shots, passed, played defense, were good teammates, displayed good sportsmanship, got good healthy exercise and played organized sports. William scored the last basket, and got a compliment from his peer, which made him feel really good. Good job guys.
