Father’s Day

(I just replaced my recently deceased camera and this one has a lot more toys.)

 

I surprised Dwayne with a night away at Thornewood Castle, leaving the kids at Grandma & Grandpa’s

Wonderful estate, but even better gardens at the nearby Lakewald Gardens, 10 acres of formal & natural gardens.  I took lots of pictures of flora I’d like to try in my backyard.

Having avoided being parents for 16 hours, we went back to the kids, who were quite excited to see us and bike circles around us.

Kyla’s helmet gave her away during our game of hide-n-seek.

Giggles!

Then we trooped up to Keith and Julie’s for a luncheon.  We had gotten my dad a Ladders game, which tipped and came apart the first time it was hit with the snake.  The poor construction created more hilarity.  Keith, who is usually good at everything, made a few points.  Eventually.

 

This is what Keith looks like when he scores.

 

Wesley was so surprised with Uncle Keith’s success, he almost stops sucking his fingers!

 

Parker silently cheers his dad on.

 

I think this is such a sweet shot of Julie and her boy.

 

Our best cheerleader….in everything.  Thanks, Mom/Grandma!

 

One of the few shots the ladder is standing upright.

 

I think that Wesley is trying to figure out how to put himself in toddler jail.

 

Daddy, Daddy, he’s our man!  We love him!
