Well, another Father’s day came and went. The thing about Father’s day is that, by definition, it is not relaxing. Because, in order to participate in Father’s day, you must have had some kids somewhere along the way.

So the day was a little hectic, but we had a really good time nonetheless. Evie gave me a card in which she wrote “Daddy”, so that was pretty cool. It was so cute, Sara told me she had to redo it a second time because she made a mistake the first time and she didn’t want to give me the one with the mistake.

The best part about the day was the time we spent playing in the “zero-depth” reflecting pool that Sara discovered close to our house. Zero-depth means that the water is maybe an inch deep; when I stand in it the water doesn’t even cover my feet. Evie just loves it, and we got some great pictures.

This thing is so cool, and huge too! It looks awesome. It’s amazing that such a thing could exist so close to our place and you wouldn’t know about it.

And I guess we weren’t the only ones who didn’t know it was there, because very few people came over while we were there. So we pretty much had the thing to ourselves. We ran and splashed, played hide and seek and pretended we were dinosaurs. Like I said, the best part of the day.

Our dinner plans included grilling some shrimp for pasta. However, when I opened the package to clean the shrimp, I found out the shrimp was already cooked! So, I saved myself all the time of cleaning, skewering, and grilling, but I was a little disappointed because I had been looking forward to it! Finally, we capped off the day with some strawberry rhubarb crisp from the strawberries and rhubarb we bought on Saturday at the farmer’s market. Heavenly! I’m glad Sara discovered she likes rhubarb, because it’s one of my favorites. Evie likes it too!

So anyway, that was father’s day. Thanks to the well wishers, hope everyone had as good of a day as I had!
