Campout and Father's Day

Devin is such a wonderful Father and had a campout in the backyard with the kids the night before Father's Day!  They were so excited and kept asking all day if it was time to set up the tent. After dinner we roasted marshmallows over the fire pit in our backyard, made smores and then set up the tent.  At about 10:00 when Devin was having a hard time getting the kids to settle down he almost bagged it and came inside to sleep (the perk of camping in the backyard) but by about 10:15 they were both out and he was glad that they stayed out there.  I got to be nice and cozy inside with Tanner!

Then we had a fun Father's Day on Sunday.  Devin had his normal bishopric meetings on Sunday morning and then had to do tithing after church, so we had a lot of time to prepare our Father's Day dinner.  I told him next year they need to cancel their meetings because Father's deserve a day off too!  We set up a tee time for him to play golf the next Saturday, so we decided to make him a golf course cake for dessert.  The kids got so excited about it.  We made the green out of coconut, the sand traps out of crushed graham crackers and the water and flag out of fruit rollups.  I know you will be shocked to hear that we went through about 5 fruit rollups to get the ones we needed.  Every time I turned around they kept eating the pieces!  We put a tag on the cake that told Devin about his tee time and it was done.  We had a great dinner and fun weekend.  Devin is such a wonderful father and we are so blessed to have him.  We are so grateful to him for all that he does for our family.  We love you!
