Father's Day Weekend

Happy Father's Day to the best dad I know!  Vic loves & adores our kids and it shows by how much he loves being with them & plays with them constantly.  He spends so much time entertaining & loving them & can never stand to hear them cry so he is immediately to their rescue!
I had the kids make some cute thoughtful cards this year.  Here's Tommy's.  He is so proud of him & dad standing in the house with a cactus & apple tree outside.



 Vic wanted nothing more than to get away from our long to do list here at the house & escape up to the cabin.  He loves it up there. Our first day we hiked around the island, paddle boated, & played games.


 On day 2 we celebrated Father's day so Vic could open his presents early.
The kids were obsessed with throwing rocks in the lake so we went on another little "hike" to let them throw more in.

 It's been a nice warm spring until this day!  It was pretty cold so we went jet skiing with our sweaters on.
The kids all loved taking their turn to drive.  Tucker could stay on it all day.  He was quite upset when his turn was over!



 The 3rd day Mom, Mark, & Grandma Van Sickle were there. We had a hot dog roast for lunch.
 I thought it was cute that Tucker made this his chair & table :)


 It was 15 degrees warmer this day so we braved the cold water with our swimsuits on.
 Tommy went on his first tube ride & since it wasn't a real tube for boating he got dumped off. oops.
 Whitney went on her first ride too & had fun.
 Both kids played in the sand for quite awhile.
 And since they could hardly stand to wait their turn, they decided to all go at once :)
 More games with Grandma.
 On our 4th day there Vic went home early to work & I stayed behind with mom to paint.  It was another freezing day, but the kids had fun & didn't want to leave!
