Father's Day Family Photo
Happy Father's Day to Gray *Ü* It was a RAINY day ... unfortunately the rain gutter right outside our window was clogged, so from 4:00 in the morning on, there was a very noisy drip, drip, drip keeping us awake. Grayson went for a run in the rain, then got on a ladder and cleaned out the rain gutter ... what a great way to start Father's Day!
A little while back, I got a message from Gray in my inbox ... the subject line was "Father'sDay ;)" and the message was http://www.maximum-velocity.com/incra.htm which took me to the little ruler pictured above. This would be for his derby hobby. The site was just recommending the tool however, but I didn't have too much trouble locating it and getting it ordered in time.
Toad Time
For the past several years we've gone out to Scott and Amy's for the annual Westra Father's Day BBQ. The rain continued all through the day keeping us mostly indoors or under the canopy. The rain did stop enough for the kids to peek at the toads under the tramp. Who got the toads out? I did! I like toads and frogs, always have *Ü*
Portable Paracord
Grayson brought his paracord and we introduced it to the cousins. Gray worked up this clever container to house all the colors, with the bucket filled with the various tools needed. The paracord was a big hit with all the kids, and all the cousins left with several bracelets each.
And of course ... the annual family photo ... we were missing Conner, McKenna, and Wendy's bunch, which would have made a much bigger group! The "nice" photo (above) and of course, the "silly" shot (below). 
Happy Father's Day!
Ha Ha! That is funny about Gray sending you that "hint!" Rick isn't much for gift giving and so we don't do much that way -- but it is always fun to celebrate. I wish we could have been there for the family party! Mom sent a copy of the family picture in the e-mail but I can't save copy or save it into my file. Do you have a copy you can send as an attachment?
