Both dads in the house wanted an easy day, so we decided to stay home today to play.  Unfortunately we had a bathroom issue; Stuart had to spend part of his Father’s Day searching for a tool and later fixing the toilet.  He eventually gave up looking for the tool, so he and I were going to make a trip to Home Depot, to also purchase some playground mulch.  Logan was happy to stay back to play chess with Grandpa and Connor was playing Chutes and Ladders with Grandma.  But last minute, Connor changed his mind and came with us to the store.  While we were out, Logan finished the game with Grandpa and played a couple of other games with Grandma too.

     After naptime, we took grandparents to visit the cabana club.  The weather was cooler, so it was slightly chilly in the water.  Connor was still enjoying sliding down from the side of the pool into the water; he did it a multiple times.  Logan had fun playing with a water shooter toy, and he was still clingy to Stuart as is his usual self.  We stayed in the water less than half an hour.  We dried up and had a snack, then we headed home.  Everyone was watching the World Cup until dinner was ready.  After eating, the boys played with grandparents and read their bedtime books with them too.  After they all went to bed, Stuart continued to watch other World Cup games to wrap up his Father’s Day.

     I also spent part of the day thinking about my dad.  I can’t believe that it had been a year since we all visited New Mexico last year to celebrate Father’s Day with him and that it was the last time we saw him.  I miss him.
