Father's Day Weekend

We started the weekend at the lake (I'm sure you're surprised) where we did some playing and some working.
 It was all about the playing for this guy and he got to ride on the golf cart for the first time and found out that he loves it.. but he definitely wants to do the driving.

 The boys did the working. They had lots of trees and limbs down from that bad storm last week. It kept them busy for a while. And Matt almost got attacked by a bull, but nothing else too exciting to report here.
 That storm was also not very kind to our walkway to the pier. Happy Father's Day dad... new walkway arrived to be put in on Saturday morning. It's crazy what some wind can do.

 Saturday we went for a long boat ride and ended at the marina to feed the fish.

 This picture probably freaks you out holding Fulton so close to the water, but Pops had a tight grip on him. He just kept leaning farther and farther over to see the big fish.

 You can buy some crackers and feed these huge fish with, but Fulton kept trying to eat the crackers. It didn't go so well.

 Sunday morning we took a quick picture of my boys before heading to church.

 And he was a good helper while daddy opened his gifts.

 Sunday night we had the fam over to celebrate the big day. We went totally nontraditional and had a pizza party. See my dad cannot have flour.. totally allergic to it and has been for 40ish years. Sister found a gluten free pizza and we made some gluten free cheese biscuits, along with the flourless cookies for dessert.. he was drooling. Loved it!

 A little something Uncle Pete brought to the party. He did that drawing on there himself... or maybe he didn't?!

 Family pictures seem hard to get these days with this little guy on the move so much. He doesn't want to sit still or be held captive for too long.

 Dad with his two favorite daughters.

And Fulton was excited because he got to help someone else open gifts. He loves some tissue paper. Very thankful for my dad and all he has done for us through the years and now I am blessed for Fulton to have such an amazing father in Matt. But beyond the two earthly fathers, I am most thankful for my heavenly father who far surpasses anything an earthly father could ever mean to me.

Fulton totally looks like he is reading Matt's Father's Day card! I am sure he was trying to tear it up only seconds later!
Hope Matt enjoyed his first Father's Day!
