Before I begin, I must start by saying that we did spend Mother's Day Weekend at the BH this year as well, but since I forgot to put my memory card into my camera, we didn't get any photos of the time spent there,(Cue the sad music) and without photos, I did not write a blog entry. I do remember, however, being woken up on that Sunday morning by a woodpecker who decided to make our house his breakfast! LOL.
Anyway...on to Father's Day!!! We headed up Friday after Billy and Liam were picked up from Reece's bday party sleepover.
This was Polar's first trip up with us and he did fabulous! Gret likes to say that he is from "up north" anyway, so apparently he should have been fine with the drive. Too cute. We had plenty of time on Friday to pick up some Mishler's chicken dinners and give Polar the grand tour of the BH.
It was supposed to rain early in the am on Sat, so Dan made plans with Grandpa Lu to go golfing around 11am and have him, Grandma and Aunt Lisa over afterward to celebrate Reece's bday.
The weather cooperated beautifully and Reece's 1st real golfing experience went off without a hitch! He golfed 5 of the 9 holes and LOVED driving the cart.
Grandma and Grandpa brought over a huge b-day cake for Reece and we had a nice time visiting. The boys had been catching quite a few frogs since we arrived, so they had fun showing them off, especially to Aunt Lisa. 
On Sunday, we honored Dan in the fashion he is used to...and let him sleep in. The boys were excited to give him his presents, a White Sox shirt to wear when they play baseball, and some Detroit Tiger's lounge pants. Plus a plaque to hang on the wall at the BH that said, "Dad...when I grow up the thing I want most is to be just like you!" Then we had breakfast on the porch and did some fishing.
When Dan and I were out on the boat, he said he really wanted to catch a big one. So I said, "Did you hear that, fish, Daddy wants to reel in a good one for Father's Day?" Wouldn't you know it...about 10 minutes later he landed a whopper! Awesome!
Sometimes on Sunday's we pack up early and get headed back, but that Sunday was so nice, we packed up and went over to the beach at the big lake. After playing some baseball on the sand, we were all hot enough to go swimming.
Ah, was the water refreshing! So, all in all, it was a wonderful weekend! How fitting for such a wonderful Father!
