Father’s Day

A few days ago, my son asked me:

“Mom, is it almost the day that we love daddy?”  (pause)  “You know, like Mother’s Day for dads?”

“Well yes it is almost that day,” I explained to him, “and we call it Father’s Day.”

The day was simple, but wonderful:  bacon and coffee, kid giggles, a bike ride, lunch and soft serve ice cream, naps, and finally, fishing on the dock.  We even caught a fish with our fancy and sophisticated fishing pole:

Oh, and something more amazing?  After seeing the fish caught, filleted, and cooked, (getting a brief lesson in the meantime about where our food comes from), my two picky eaters actually tried a bite.
