The One With An Amazing Father's Day

 

 

 

 

Another Amazing Father's Day happened this year. On June 21, we did some incredible things and, for the third year in a row, I had my "best" Father's Day.

My day actually began one day earlier by watching the Bonanza episode, "The Legacy" about Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe trying to avenge what they thought was the death of their father. Of course, they realize in the end revenge was not what they were looking for...as was evidenced by the time they got home and saw Pa.  

We began by doing the tour of the house with different decorations and notes left for me. Always fun. We then followed up by getting some food from Nick and Andy's. Yum!!!

We then went into the Museum of Science. This year, several of the spots that were closed last year were open this year. Yay!!! We  got a chance to see the Music Across America movie at Imax and even got a chance to see the Lightning Exhibit, which is now open...and updated again.

 Following that, we went to Jimmy's for supper. I had my chicken parm....which I love there.

Then, we came home. has dessert and watched Silverado.

Truly a beautiful Father's Day!!! 

The One With a Great Father's Day

 

 

Today, as the school year winds down, I had the chance to enjoy another amazing Father's Day. Last year, I started a new tradition - order takeout for breakfast - museum - movie - dinner. And, this year, I decided to repeat the feat. It was another great day.

First, we went to Nick and Andy's for breakfast. Always a great take. And, the takeout was great.

Then, we went to the Museum of Science...one of my favorite places. That ended up being good, but not as good as last year because they are doing a TON of work. The lightning exhibit - my favorite - was shut down for the time being (it might be next year as well). However, there were still things to do, including a dolphin movie, the human body exhibit (which has changed a lot), and of course a visit to the gift shop.

We then went to see the new Karate Kid. It was a fantastic blend of original series with the Jackie Chan reboot. LOVED IT!

 We finished the day with supper at Jimmys!!! What a fabulous day! I can't wait to do it again next year!

The One With the Forced Fun Family Fall Fest

 

Yesterday, we decided to celebrate the first day of fall - or have a Mabon fest - as Emmie likes to put it.

 That meant the entire day was dedicated to fall fun. This included:

 

1. Bringing in food from Nick and Andy's.

2. Apple picking at Russell's Orchard, which was fun because we got on the back part of the orchard for the first time ever.

3. Emmie made her epic hot apple cider and showed Kiff how to make it.

4. Emmie hosted a Mabon fall festivity and writing moment.

5. We went to Jimmy's steakhouse. YUM!

6. We watched It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and Curious George Boo Fest.

7. Emmie and I watched The Glenn Miller Story.
