Happy Father's Day

There was not much rest and relaxation going on for Eric this Father's Day. He spent his day finishing the construction of the swing set, otherwise known as "The Park." Evan used that term for our old swing set when he was little.

Before anyone starts thinking what an awful wife I am, let me just say that finishing the park was Eric's idea. He was the one who said last night, "Let's get up early and finish the park." I agreed with his plan figuring we could at least go out for ice cream to officially celebrate FD.


The boys swinging on the glider.


Evan pretty much had to do all the work in making the glider swing. Hudson was just along for the fun ride.


Hudson can't reach to sit on the swing, so he improvises. I guess Evan thought it looked fun as well.


Still having fun.

These two monkeys better enjoy this playset FOREVER! It was a royal pain to construct. And I was just the construction assistant. The directions might as well have been written in Chinese for as much as I could figure out. Luckily Eric is fluent in Chinese swing set directions, but even he got frustrated with many parts of the process.

There are still a few more steps to go: ground stakes, awning, and slide, but at least it is at a point where the boys have access to the structure and can have fun. I intend to kick their little tushes outside for the rest of the summer!

As for the rest of Father's Day. Well, we never did go for ice cream. I went to the store and bought ice cream, and Eric bbq'ed steak for us for dinner. We spent the day outside as a family. In my opinion, it doesn't get much better.

Oh, and before anyone asks, yes, the boys are in their pajamas. These photos were taken at about 4 p.m. They never did get dressed today. It was just one of those kind of days!
