Please note the homemade tie from Colin (thank you daycare) and the very cool new hat from me. (the t-shirt is courtesy of Grandpa Brooks. The shirt Keith was wearing earlier got soaked at the pool.)
We started out the day with breakfast at First Watch. Now I know I could have been a little more domestic here and cooked an elaborate breakfast at home but it just wasn't in the cards this year. Besides we have pretty much become regulars at First Watch so it kind of felt like we were having breakfast at home.
After breakfast we headed over to Keith's parents house to visit. I have heard that men learn to treat women the way they see their father treat their mother growing up. Well if that is the case then I owe a huge thank you to Granddad Street because Keith treats me like a queen. I also need to thank Grandma and Granddad Street for showing Keith what it means to be in a strong, loving, committed marriage. In fact Keith's parents are celebrating their 41st wedding anniversary today.
Congrats Grandma and Granddad Street!
We spent the afternoon over at my parent's house. We got to go swimming up at Seven Pines Pool. It is funny how little has changed at that place since I was a kid. I used to spend every day there in the summer. I still love going up there. It is so fun to take Colin swimming. He is for sure our little water baby. See this photo as an example of what I am talking about.
We were trying to get a picture of all of the grandkids with Grandma and Grandpa Brooks so we had to get all of the older kids to surround the pool because Colin was busy swimming and the chances of getting him out of the pool and keeping him happy enough for a picture were slim to none.
Luckily we were able to get a photo earlier in the day of all of the Dad's and their Sons on Father's Day.
My brothers are all really great Dad's. Because of the large age gap between the boys and myself in a way it seemed like I had 4 Dads growing up. In fact Keith has said he was more nervous to meet my brothers then he was to meet my Dad.
Seeing as this post is all about Father's Day I think it is important that I take a minute here to say a very special thank you to my Dad for being the most supportive Dad a girl could ask for. He may not have always understood me but he was always there to back me up. Dad is the one who is always making sure that everyone in the family is happy and he is willing to do anything to make sure we are all taken care of.
It is very clear how important family is to him. Whether it be our immediate family or Dad's extended family he is the one who is there holding it all together.
The best Dad I know and his very adoring son.
