Father's Day 2011

We celebrated our fathers this year at Mom and Dad's house. In usual summertime fun, the kids swam in the pool. Mom prepared food on her massive grill while Dad and I made food the ol' fashioned way - in our dutch ovens. He made one peach and one cherry cobbler (both were delicious and gone within minutes!) I made a chicken and rice dish. Brandon and Candice were there as well as Ashley! She finally got her schedule changed to include Sunday's off. Jason and his parents were there too. Ohh, the stories that were told that night!!! Mom and Dad enjoyed all five (and a half) of their grandkids. I have to tell you how well the three little ones play together. Amelie lights up when she sees Maverick and Gwendolynn! She just HAS to go and touch them! It's so cute. And Maverick is really really good with her, protecting her from things. I guess he doesn't feel the need to compete with Amelie like he does with his sister. Everyone had a great evening! Happy Father's Day to all of you dads out there!
