Fathers Day 2011


We started our Fathers Day with sunshine and cloud, polenta and pretend coffee, laughter and love! 
Our morning was spent doing a massive cleanup of building materials and trash and treasure that has been accumulating under the large pine tree for some time. It didn't take long with all the family helping  and although the pic above looks messy, it is in fact the rearranged pile!! 
Then on to the fun part of the day (although the Best Man really liked the cleaning up part too) Not far from where we live is the best Honey Farm around - oh boy it has all the honey goodies you could ever want, need or think of! Honey sweetened ice cream is always a hit and we go there a few times a year, just because! This time it was for their Dad! 
Eating ice cream looks like a fairly serious business judging by some of the expressions! 




Then off for a bush walk to Alum Cliffs - and boy it's a long way down!! 



There was a spot of gymnastics.......


some tree climbing.......


roadside daffodils to be picked and arranged at home!!


All in honour of their wonderful, patient and encouraging Dad! 


I had so many photos that I found it hard to pick which ones to use but I think I've just about given you a small but complete snapshot of our sweet, sweet day! I'm relaxed and set for the week ahead now!!

  7. Hey Lori ann, I am making the most of still having most of our kids around and use every excuse I can to get them to come home! Luckily they enjoy it too!!!
    And yes our Dads day is Sept, seems odd when you are used to having it at some other time, doesn't it?
