Father's Day Weekend

This past weekend we celebrated Josh’s first Father’s Day. My parents came into town on Friday night. Josh and I had plans to go with some friends to Ginnie Springs for the day to celebrate our friend Kristin’s birthday. They offered to watch our friend Katie and Brad’s baby as well so all the parents could go and have a little sun and fun. James was born 3 weeks after Colton so they are very close in age. Now for most people it’s no big deal to watch two babies, however, for my parents it’s a new experience. I’m an only child so they never really had to handle two children before…yikes! They did great though and I think they really enjoyed it. Thankfully James is a super chilled out baby who loves to smile :) They were on opposite schedules for napping and eating so it worked out pretty well.

While mom and dad were home with the kids the adults went to play at the springs. It’s about 15 minutes to the springs from our house and it’s such a beautiful part of natural Florida. The water is a bit chilly (and a little dark for my taste) but it’s so much fun to tube down the river. We had a BLAST and thoroughly enjoyed acting like the carefree college kids we used to be.

On Sunday mom and I made a huge breakfast for the dads which included thick sliced bacon of course. Josh and dad opened their cards and Josh enjoyed the book of Daddy and Me photos that I made for him. His gift was actually a surprise on Friday. Colton and I had his truck detailed while he was at work, something he hasn’t been able to find time to do lately. Back to Sunday, my dad being the man that he is couldn’t take it any longer and went out back to finish the drainage system he started installing the day before :) Josh being the man that he is couldn’t stand by so he was out there with him in the yard digging things up and sweating like crazy in the 100 degree heat. After my parents left we just relaxed and had a lazy Sunday. Josh and Colton spent much of the day just hanging out on the floor in Colton’s playland. According to Josh, it was the perfect day.

The next two months are going to be a bit crazy. We’ve got travel plans almost every weekend and lots of fun stuff in store. More posts to come soon!

Hope this finds everyone doing well and enjoying your summer! Stay cool out there!

Love,
Jenny
