Father's Day Done Right

Pete left this morning for (hopefully) his last 3 week tour of duty at the plant in Missouri. We were lucky enough to have him home for two whole weeks, a good length of time that we haven't experienced in quite a while.


We were also thankful that we got to have him home with us for Father's Day! Because of weather, our plans to spend the evening "camping" and having a cook out at a local state park had to be changed. However, with a little altering here and there, we were still able to have our "camp out!" We set up the tent and fire in the very back of our yard and the kids got to work on bringing out their sleeping pads, blankets and pillows.

Dad, kids, mom, and yes, even the dogs who joined in on the fun, had a blast! It was a fantastic way to celebrate Pete and all that he means to us and our family!
