"Bearly Lake"




Happy Father's Day Ben. We took the kids "camping" . Okay so it is not a typical Whidden style camping but an Andrea style camping. My mom's friend was letting us stay at her cabin. Which had all the nice amenities that a mother could enjoy. Running water, flushing toliets and nice bed to sleep in, Ben said " this is not camping, this is staying at someone elses house in the mountains". However, the kids loved it we went on walks and on a golf cart ride or two. We went to the beach for a few hours and enjoyed the time away all together.
Ben enjoyed his time off, until we stopped to pick up the car at Target and of course we go in, and the place is CRAZY. Ben being Ben, was bugged about how the store falls apart in two days.
To me it all looks the same, lots of stuff I think I need. Walking through the store to see what has orange clearance tags on them. I did see a lot of stuff that I do want, but I will wait until it's not Sunday. So tomarrow sounds like a good day to go to Target. j/k
Thank you to Ben for all he does for us. His list is long and possible never ending. He is a great Dad, I think that was learned from being the oldest. The kids adore him and scream his name when he comes home. He loves to take the kids to the movies, jump with them on the trampoline, play games with them, and take them on bike rides in the bike trailer. He lets them stay up way passed their bed time and doesn't get annoyed with them, when they are so tired. When I am not home, they get to do a lot of things not in the norm, like eat cookies for breakfast and have cookies for lunch too......and while they are at it why not have cookies and pop for dinner:) Thanks for taking care of us and being who you are.
Thank you Ben for being such a great dad, Happy Fathers Day, we Love you........
