Father's Day

This past weekend was Fathers Day and while there are no fathers in this house, there is not shortage in the family so Jaiden and I went to see pops. The story goes... Thursday, we had planned a trip to the local water park with some friends. When Jaiden woke up that morning, he had other things on his mind. The first thing he said to me was "See pops!". I responded with "would you like to call him instead?" Well, that was obviously not good enough because he said "see pops house!" I figured this would pass and we would call pops later so they could talk. That evening, when we got home, he threw the biggest fit because he didn't want to be at "jaiden's house", he wanted to be at "pops house". This pattern continued for another day (without as much drama but none the less...) until we finally went to 'see pops' on Sunday. It turns out that pops had a big surprise for the little insistent one: A BLUE TRACTOR!!!. He was a little hesitant at first but we think it's just because he wanted to drive the tractor by himself. (We have a riding lawnmower in the garage and when we get home some times, Jaiden will 'drive' the tractor at home.) It took some doing to finally get him off the big blue tractor, but what a great toy for Jaiden and pops.








I'm not sure that anything could top the tractor but after that, we went to the pool and we swam, and swam, and swam some more. (no pictures... you know... water and expensive camera...) but when we got back to pops and nanas, Jaiden took a nice long nap and woke up to eat 3 plates of nana's fish. We had an easy trip home and I hope pops had a great fathers day. We love you pops!!!.



Love and hugs,

Steph, Anna, and Jaiden
