Happy Father's Day!

Yesterday, the kids and I headed to my parents house so we could see my Dad for an early Father's Day. The kids and Jax played all afternoon, and Gramps even took them to the skate park for a while. We enjoyed dinner together before heading home. Wish I would've taken a few pictures!

Today we celebrated Father's Day by making Joe a yummy breakfast of German pancakes. Then he opened his loving, homemade cards and a few gifts.
He is very excited to use his new outdoor speakers by the pool and bbq, and also to use his new coffee mug!

We told Joe that he could do anything he wanted today, so he chose hiking up at the Santa Rosa Reserve. It was a nice, cool morning and we were ready to go.

Along the way, we stopped to see what was crawling on the ground...
It turned out to be a good-sized tarantula, which the kids thought was really cool!

We stopped for a water/snack break a couple times too...

We made it down to the old adobe houses, and looked around at the old trees, bridges, and windmills.

We headed back to the trailhead and the kids took off running. They had boundless energy this morning and ran quite a long way!

It was the perfect day for a hike, and we finished with a great afternoon lunch at Filippi's so Joe could get one of his favorite dishes, eggplant parmesan.
Happy Father's Day Joe!!
