Fathers Day

We had a busy fun filled weekend. Friday night after work we made slime...Presley has been begging to make slime, now we have done it, she is over it and we'll probably throw it away by this weekend.

Wearing the shark hats she made at KTC for the beach themed day.

Then we headed to Johnston Green Days to walk around and listen to music. The car show was going on and Piper would walk up to the ones that she liked, smile real big and tell me to take her picture. It was so funny!

We decided to NOT do the carnival rides this year...we have season passes to Adventureland so this was just not needed. We hung out and listened to live music, the girls did a little dancing and then we headed home.

Saturday morning I got up and worked and had to wake Piper and Steve up at 9 am so that we could get ready and be at the parade by 10! :) The Green Days parade is awesome! It is long enough, the kids get SO much candy and the best part.....it's not busy and we don't have to fight a trillion other kids like we would for the Urbandale 4th of July parade!

My beautiful girl!

After the parade we went to 1908 and had a 'father's day' brunch on the patio there. The weather was perfect, the girls were good, it was just nice. We headed home for a couple hours to get some stuff done and just to hang out. Then we decided to head to Fongs Fest in Ankeny, we got there at a weird time though....it wasn't busy, there really wasn't much going on and the kids were NOT impressed. We knew Damon Dotson was playing at 5 but it was only 4 so we had an hour to kill!.....and we found a brewery and I don't even remember the name! HA! Luckily I had packed some snacks and stuff to keep them entertained and they really like the Pac Man game they had in there!

Daddy and his daughters! Love!

We got some drinks and slices of pizza and hung out until the music started and then we stayed for about an hour. We had some time out by the shed, watching Beauty and the Beast, eating popcorn, playing with neighbors and watching Piper since the Moana song to us. Seriously freaking adorable!

 

Fathers day I got up in the morning and worked again and the family slept until 9:30-10! I'm jealous!

We decided to hit up the weiner dog races at Prairie Meadows....it was so busy! The traffic was unreal! The weather was perfect and once we got inside it wasn't too bad. My whole family was there, so the kids played and occasionally watched the horse races and weiner dog races on the big screen since it was so busy you couldn't see anything otherwise!

This picture was taken on Father's Day 4 years ago.......

and again this year!

Then we got one with the other grandchildren (minus Jordan)!

Me and my baby!

We were there for a couple hours and then headed to Sam's house in Bondurant to eat and hang out and swim in their pool! Presley had a blast and Piper trusted Pa enough to help her in the pool since she couldn't touch. It was great!
About 5 we headed out to Earlham to their music in the park night! We grabbed McD's for the kids to eat on the way there and when we got there the girls just played! It is like a little mini-Goodrich reunion going to Earlham, so we hung out with lots of family and enjoyed the awesome weather and music. We got home late but overall it was a great fathers day!
Thank you Steve for everything you do for our baby girls! They love you so much and they have you tied around their little fingers....as it should be! :)
