Best Fathers Day Ever




I had a great Father's Day. Luckily, the day fell on my weekend with the kids.

The kids participated in the set up the day before without me knowing. Then on Sunday, Riley set her alarm for 5 a.m. and went downstairs to get everything ready. She put colored balloons everywhere and the white balloons on the table had pictures and writing on them. I attached a few of the photos. The walls had signs on them too. See the video above and the pictures below. And to top it off, Riley made this book for me. And DJ got me this cool emergency lighter for my key chain. I have the best kids....
This is Spongebob (DJ)
This is a drawing of me (Holden)
This is Riley's self-portrait.

This is me with a big smile. (Holden)
"We love you, DAD!" - DJ, Riley and Holden


"My dad is the best one anyone could have! He is also the best chef!" - Riley

"I love you more than DJ and Riley" - Holden




Jenny's for Biscuits and Gravy, of course.

Green Valley Lake

The highlight of our trip to Green Valley Lake was a geocaching adventure behind the dam. We looked for a long time before we gave up. Holden and DJ went back to camp on bikes once we gave up but Riley and I walked and we were treated to a Bald Eagle having dinner over the lake. I took a video but you can't see it well so I'm not going to post it.

If you visit Green Valley Lake, a lake and city equidistant between Big Bear Lake and Arrowhead Lake, say hello to Michael Sullens, the owner of the General Store. His parents live across the street in Brea and we have known each other for many years.
