Belated Father's Day

 

My parents wanted to see the lake in its summer bliss, so we made plans to host Father’s Day here this past Saturday. My sister and brother-in-law had planned to also come, but they ended up not being able to join us. Mom and Dad still came, and I think they enjoyed themselves!

            I made strawberry shortcake and macaroni and cheese, and Ryan found a marinade he wanted to use on chicken before he grilled it. (We also had burgers.) Mom brought some fresh veggies, and it was a full and delicious meal, I thought!

            Lexi, of course, was beside herself to see them, and Dad was pretty glad to see her! They sat by the lake and enjoyed the view while we gathered up the food to eat. It was the perfect day for eating outside. Strawberry shortcake in the summer by the lake…can’t beat that.

            They looked at the garden, and Dad walked out to the pier, and we waved at some pontoons that went by while we were out.

            We did a couple of group pictures, and that was the day! I was grateful for the opportunity to share the day with them and to host another family holiday. Now that we live farther away, it’s a little more challenging to do the hosting!

            Thanks, Mom and Dad, for making the drive to see the lake!
