Father's Day 2008

Once again, on Father's Day, we have a houseful of people. That's what happens when Ben & Ella's birthday is right before Father's Day!

This year, like last year, Jon made everyone breakfast with a lot of assistance from all of my sister's kids. Then I told him that Ben & Ella are very excited for you to open your present. So he did. We got him 2 short sleeve shirts to wear to work, one tie (he wears ties on Fridays), and...a fruit bat. We were most excited about the fruit bat.

If you don't recall, Jon thought that Mother's Day and Father's Day should have "mascots", so to speak, just like Easter has the bunny and Christmas has Santa Claus. For Mother's Day, it is the monkey. For Father's Day, Jon chose the fruit bat. He told me he wanted a fruit bat, so we got him a fruit bat.

The rest of the day, we went on the picnic I mentioned in an earlier post. Jon wanted to walk home with Ben & Ella while the rest of us went to go see the Fremont Troll. I think Jon had a good Father's Day. I hope he did!
