Family fun!

I have so many pics, and just never got to put them on facebook (before Andrea beat me to it), so I thought I'd put them in the form of a blog.

First, there's the well deserved first family Father's Day! By that I mean, more than one dad in the group. For Father's Day we went to Andrea's, where they put on quite the spread. Ribs, chicken, beans and salad. All very good, all very yummy. Tony did the BBQing and the food was enjoyed by all! We started with Summer Sauage and WI sharp cheese and crackers. (So, I guess Ron was there in spirit :))




Dad gifts were exchanged....

Grandpa loved this....
...he was almost moved to tears!
Diamondback tiks from Tony. He went on this rampage about how the Diamondbacks suck this year, so his face was a little red when he opened this gift...ahhaha. But we are looking forward to go checking out the new management, and having a fun time with a team he really likes...SF Giants.
Chad with his new movie from the 'in-laws". A gift not worthy of the gift he's given us...but there is no gift that size!

When the sun went down, we packed up the cars and headed to Castle and Coasters for some gaming and mini golf!


The guys got into virtual bowling....
....while Andrea played air hockey
...with Bill! I think Bill won!
Andrea went on to play a little pinball, and got herself a little worked up!
This is what happened! hahhaahha

Next, a serious game of mini-golf!

We all set out with winning in mind!



Andrea definitely had a little bit of a disadvantage.

It was Jake's first time out in an outing like that, and he was a little trooper, even though it was hotter than hell, and when I got my hole in one (that's right!), we scared him when we cheered. LOL. Poor little booger. But he wouldn't go to sleep, he wanted to be part of it all. We've gone during the day since then (an indoor deal) and he loved it. He's so cute! Tony won that round by the way, I think it was the impressive golf shorts! :o)

It was a special day for the first time dad...and for the long distance one. I know Bill was missing his girls, and they were missing him. Even though they aren't right here, on these special family days, I hope they know they are not far from mind or heart. We miss them! (and wish they would move here! Okay, had to throw that in! hahah)

Of course, no blog from this grandma would be complete without some candid Jake pictures. He's really a special part of the G in Grandpa...along with Jack, Jessica and Menisha!! (Wow, how did that happen!)

Peeking out of his big ole' travel system. I don't get those things!

Checking out all the lights in the game room. He loves lights!
Chilling at home in his place! He has a lot of toys! He's very intense when he's playing! haha
He loves his Uncle Tony! They like to chillax together!


I think one day of fun is all this blog can handle!! There is nothing more important to me than these family times...being together, and sharing food, fun and relaxation. Whether it be Father's Day, or just a regular ole' Sunday, these memories we make are priceless, no matter what our age! Never take them for granted, and make as many of them as you can!!
