HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

A Father is someone who gives you the tools you need to build your life,
The knowledge you need to use them successfully,

The encouragement to overcome obstacles,

And the confidence to take pride in a job well-done"

We started our morning with Lisa, Dan, and children for a delicious breakfast of waffels, berries, whip cream...hmmmm so good. Then off to church where the primary children sang to the dad's and the youth passed out candy bars.
Later that afternoon we went to Marrianne & John's home for a Barbeque, music and dance. We always enjoy spending time with Marrianne's family and also Carnell.

You did a great job RAISIN my mom! We know you are an old softy [marshmallows]. You're the Big Cheese-tos. You're Never a Stixx-in-the-mud. Here is a '100 Grand Candy Bar' to show you how much you are worth to us. Tootsie Roll -- To show the big 'roll' you play in my mom's life. You are a little nutty. My mom is the chip off the old block. Kiss-ables to show you how much we love you. Mint Musketeers bar to show my mom's appreciation of your commint-MINT to her. And last a Bag of Popcorn - to let you know that without our "pop", our family would not be 'corn'-plete. [Gavin, Annika, Marylyn & Andy]

Here's a big kiss and brand new 'father's day tie'

Dad especially enjoyed all the phone calls and being able to talk with each of your families!
