Our Father's Day celebration went a bit old skool this year: a little sun, a little grillin', a whole lotta watermelon, and...a watermelon seed spitting contest.
And then some friends showed up after hearing all the commotion -- and all hell broke loose.
Benjamin decided he loved the ducks so much he wanted to hug them. They disagreed.
All in all it was a good day. I hope you and yours created some memories of your own.
I read a piece of advice from Maggie on Heather's site, "When I was single, I decided I wouldn't marry a man unless I could be proud if we had a son who turned out exactly like him." I couldn't agree more. Your father's a role model for your husband, your husband's the blue print for your son.
I win on both.
Wow - looks like a great day, and a lot of fun! I've never done a seed spitting contest... but might have to institute that into a family function soon! I can only imagine the heckling and things that would go on!
Poor Benjamin - denied by the ducks!

Is that a turkey in the last photo?! (The birdhead, not the boy, obviously.)
