Yesterday evening my parents picked me up and we all drove to my sisters. We stayed over Saturday night and then spent Fathers day with her, my brother in law, his sisters, family and his brother in laws family and all the kids. It was the usual suspects together. As usual it was fun with all the kids.
Saturday night my folks and I stopped for some quick dinner on the road. And then I treated myself to some nice roadside ice cream. We got to the house just in time to see everyone get back from dinner of their own. As odd luck would have it if we stopped at the first place we thought of to eat we would have ran into my sister and brother in law having dinner. Small world. The kids went to bed and we got to relax a little bit.
Today I got up early. Partly due to the noise my nephew makes in the morning. Partly due to the cold in the basement I was sleeping in. I didn’t really mind it since i would rather be cold than really hot. Their basement is freezing compared to the rest of the house. It was the first time I slept down there since they just renovated it.
We went to brunch at my brother in law’s, brother in law’s sisters house. Yes I am not making this stuff up. Everyone is really close so when asked how I know people it is these long descriptions, but anyway… The food was great. My sister made a french toast casserole. Only my sister would make two of them at 10PM last night while 9 months pregnant. There was lots of other great stuff. I can’t even describe this cheese thing someone made. So simple and so tasty.
With 6 kids ranging from 2 1/2 to 6 it is always noisy and interesting. Oh since it was fathers day I also got to spend some time with my dad. I gave up trying to figure out what to get him for a present last year. I am still waiting for him to say what he wants. I know he wants a printer but he has specific requirements. Any time I show him options i never get a confirmation on any of them so I haven’t gotten anything yet. But I digress.
Overall it was a good day. I got home early enough that i was able to throw a load of laundry in. I just finished folding and I am wrapping up this writing and I am off to bed.
My favorite photo from the day is below. Zachary in a spider man outfit and top hat dancing. Thankfully I have some video of it too!
